Arin Computer

You can find Arin Computer at 6A Kiran Sankar Roy Road on the second floor here in Kolkata. We’ve been set up in this spot for quite a while now. The building has that old Kolkata feel to it, which we like. Our space is filled with motherboards, old hard drives, and boxes of screws. It’s not a place for a fancy meeting, but it’s great for getting work done. We spend most of our time troubleshooting software or swapping out broken screens. It’s just what we do every day. The fans hum in the background all the time to keep the machines cool. Sometimes the stairs up to the second floor feel a bit steep after a long day, but it's okay. We get a lot of walk-ins from the street because people know we are here. We don't do much advertising; word of mouth seems to work okay for us. If someone has a laptop that won't turn on, they bring it over and we see what we can do. It's practical work. We have a small kettle for tea and a few chairs for when we need a break. It’s just a local computer shop trying to help people out with their tech problems. We don't use big words to explain things, we just try to fix what is broken and keep the bills paid. It keeps us occupied and we enjoy the puzzles that some computers give us.
