Bhaskar P. Gupta Memorial And Research Foundation

Our foundation is located on the third floor of premises number 50 in Ballygunge Gardens. If you know South Kolkata, you know this is a pretty quiet residential area with a lot of trees and old buildings. We set this up to honor Bhaskar P. Gupta. The research we do here is handled by a small group of us who are interested in keeping his legacy alive. It’s not a fast-paced environment. We spend a lot of time reading, writing, and talking about different projects. The building itself is typical for this neighborhood. You have to climb a few flights of stairs to get to us. We don't have fancy elevators or a lobby with a receptionist. Usually, you just knock on the door and someone will let you in. We like it this way because it keeps things personal and low-key. We aren't trying to be the biggest foundation out there. We just want to do good work that means something. Sometimes we have visitors who are interested in the research, and we sit around the old wooden table to discuss things. It’s a very calm atmosphere compared to the main roads of Kolkata. We’ve been at this for some time now and the routine suits us well. It is just a dedicated group of people doing what they enjoy in a quiet corner of the city. We don't need much more than our books and our notes to keep things going.
