Annams Engg. Co. Pvt. Ltd.

Our place is tucked away at 3, Old Court House Corner in Radhabazar. If you’ve ever walked around this part of Kolkata, you know how packed the streets get with people and shops. We’ve been in this building for years, and it has that old feel to it, with high ceilings and heavy doors. It’s an engineering company, but we aren't the type to sit in glass offices all day. There is always a lot of paperwork to sort out and drawings to look over on the big wooden tables. We deal with various mechanical parts and technical stuff that most people wouldn’t think twice about. The walk to the office through the market is always a bit of a struggle in the heat, but once we’re inside, things settle down. We have a small team here, and most of us have been working together for over a decade. We know where every file and tool is kept, even if it looks like a mess to someone walking in for the first time. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just sit by the window to get some light. We don't use much fancy software; a lot of things are still done the way we learned them years ago. Radhabazar is a busy spot for trade, so we get people popping in all the time asking for advice on parts. We just do our bit and keep the wheels turning.
