Anandi Overseas Pvt Ltd

We have our office at 42/C Chanda Village Road in the Haridevpur area of Kolkata. It is a part of the city that still feels like a small town in many ways. The road outside is narrow and can get quite muddy when the monsoon rains hit. We have been operating from this same building for a long time. It is an old house that we converted for our business needs. There is a small garden in the front that we try to keep tidy, though the weeds usually win. Inside, it is full of old wooden desks and cabinets stuffed with files. We handle overseas work, which means we spend a lot of time on the phone or waiting for the mail to arrive. The pace of life here is not as fast as it is in central Kolkata. We take our lunch breaks seriously and usually sit together to talk about everything except work. Most of the staff has been with us for over ten years. We know each other's families and celebrate festivals together in the office. We do not have a fancy website or a glossy brochure to show people. If someone wants to know about us, they usually just come by for a cup of tea. It is a very traditional way of doing things, but it has worked for us so far. We just keep going.
