Alok Dhanuka

Our place is over in Kolkata, specifically linked with Sri Siya Ram Singh. If you know West Bengal at all, you know that this city has a soul that you can't find anywhere else. We are tucked away in the 700 008 pin code area. It’s one of those old-school parts of town where the buildings have high ceilings and the hallways are a bit narrow and dim. Alok Dhanuka runs things from here, mostly dealing with the day-to-day stuff that comes across the desk. It’s not a shiny new office in a glass tower. Instead, we have heavy wooden doors and windows that sometimes stick when it rains. The humidity in Kolkata can be tough on the paperwork, so we try to keep things as tidy as possible. There is always the sound of trams or cars honking in the distance, which just becomes background noise after a while. We have a small tea break every afternoon, usually getting something from the vendor at the corner. It’s a very grounded way to work. We don’t have a big marketing department or anyone to write fancy speeches for us. We just show up, do what needs to be done, and head home when the lights go out. It’s a bit cramped sometimes when we have a lot of stuff coming in, but we make it work somehow. It’s just how things go in this part of the city.
