Bhanu Bhai Desai & Co

Our office is over at 63A Bentinck Street, right in the heart of the Esplanade area. It’s one of those old Kolkata buildings with high ceilings and a lot of history in the walls. Bhanu Bhai Desai & Co has been around for a while, and we’ve seen the streets outside change from trams to the heavy traffic we have today. We mostly handle paperwork, accounts, and various legal or business matters for people in the neighborhood. It’s a quiet place for the most part, though the noise from the street always finds its way in. Files are stacked pretty high on the desks because there's always something to finish. We don’t go for modern glass offices; this place suits us just fine. People come in, sit down for a tea, and we discuss whatever business they brought in. It feels more personal that way. We aren't interested in being the biggest firm in the city. We just want to do right by the people who have been coming to us for decades. Sometimes a client is the son or grandson of someone we used to help years ago. That means a lot to us. The walk to the office from the metro is short, which is a blessing in the summer heat. We just keep doing what we do, day in and day out, without much fuss. It is a simple way to run a business and it works for us.
