Chandrani Ghosh

My name is Chandrani Ghosh and you can find us at 28, B.B. Ganguly Street in Kolkata. If you know the city, you know this street is always packed with people and traffic. It’s right in the 700012 pin code area. We’ve been at this spot for quite some time. The building is one of those old ones you see all over this part of town, with the big windows and the dusty hallways. It’s not polished or modern, but it has a lot of character. We work in a small room that’s filled with old furniture. The noise from the street comes in through the windows all day—lots of horns honking and people shouting. It’s just the way it is here. I usually get in early before the heat gets too bad. We don’t spend money on fancy decorations or signs. We just have our name on a small board. A few of us sit here and handle the daily tasks. It’s mostly paperwork and talking to people who walk in off the street. Sometimes the electricity goes out for a bit, so we just wait or use a hand fan. It’s a very local way of doing things. We aren't trying to be some big company. We just want to stay busy and take care of the work that comes our way on B.B. Ganguly Street. It’s a bit cramped and loud, but it’s home for the business.
