Cooper Bearing

We are located at 27, Mahajati Road in Kolkata. It’s a busy part of the city and our shop is right in the middle of all the noise. People usually come to Cooper Bearing when they have a machine that stopped working or a part that wore out. We have stacks of boxes everywhere. It’s not a very organized look, but we know where everything is. The shelves go all the way to the ceiling. Most of our day is spent looking through catalogs or measuring things with calipers to make sure the fit is right. Kolkata gets very humid, so the fans are always spinning, but it doesn't do much. We talk to the delivery drivers and the local mechanics who stop by. Sometimes we just sit on the stools and wait for the next person to walk through the door. It’s a small operation. We don’t have a website or anything like that. We just handle the bearings and try to keep the stock levels okay. The road outside is always torn up or crowded with rickshaws. You get used to the sound of horns while you work. We’ve been here at this address for a long time. It’s just a regular business doing regular things. No one wears a suit here. We just wear what’s comfortable for moving heavy metal parts around all day long. We keep the ledger by hand mostly. It's just the way we've always done it at this spot.
