Balaji Computer

9 India Exchange Place is right in the heart of things in Calcutta, near the GPO. Balaji Computer is a small spot in a very old part of the city. You can feel the age of the buildings around here. The streets are always packed with people and vendors, and the air is thick with the smell of street food and old paper. Inside the shop, it’s a bit of a squeeze. We have monitors and keyboards stacked up almost to the ceiling. It’s a busy place. We’ve been here for a long time, helping people with their computer parts and repairs. It’s not the kind of place where you’ll find a sleek showroom. Instead, you’ll find us surrounded by wires and open CPU cabinets. The noise from the GPO area filters in through the windows, but we’re used to it by now. We usually have some local radio playing in the background or just the sound of someone tapping away at a keyboard. It’s a practical, honest way to spend the day. Calcutta GPO is a landmark everyone knows, so finding us isn’t hard, but navigating the crowds to get to the door is always an adventure. We keep things simple here and focus on getting the systems running again so people can get back to their own work in this busy city.
