Al Salama

You can find Al Salama at E/110 in Baghajatin, which is a part of South Kolkata. We’ve been at this address in West Bengal for quite a while now. The building is an older one, the kind you see a lot of in this part of the city, with a small entrance and stairs that lead up to our workspace. It’s not a massive place, but it’s enough for what we do. The noise from the street usually drifts in, so it never feels too quiet here. We handle a lot of administrative work and speak with people who come in looking for help with various things. In Kolkata, things can move a bit slower sometimes, especially when it’s raining hard during the monsoon, but we keep the office open. We have a few desks and some old filing cabinets that have been with us since we started. There is no big marketing team here, just a few of us who know how to get the paperwork done. We drink a lot of chai throughout the day to keep going. The neighbors know us by name, and we often chat with the shopkeepers nearby. It’s a very local feel, nothing like those big offices in the IT parks. We just focus on our daily routine and make sure we don't fall behind. If you are in Baghajatin, you’ll see our door with the 700086 pin code on the mail.
