Angelina Mercaltile Pvt. Ltd.

Our place is located out in Erenga Kamdevpur, which is a bit of a trip if you're coming from the main city. We're under the Sugandhya post office and the Polba police station area. It’s much quieter out here than in the middle of Kolkata. We do mercantile work, which basically means we handle a lot of trading and moving goods around. The office isn't anything special to look at, just a practical space where we can keep our records and manage the daily logistics. We spend a lot of time on the phone or dealing with the local transport guys who bring the loads in and out. Being near Polba means we see a lot of the rural side of the business. It’s mostly about making sure the trucks are loaded correctly and the paperwork is signed. Sometimes the electricity goes out for an hour or two, so we just sit out front and wait for it to come back. We don’t use a lot of big words or have meetings that last all day. We just look at what needs to be moved and we move it. The air is a bit fresher here, which is nice. We’ve got a small team and we all do a bit of everything, from filing to checking the warehouse stock. It’s a simple way to run a business, but it works for us. We’ve been at this for a long time and we don’t see any reason to change things now.
