Counselor

Our place, Counselor, is located at 7 Charu Chandra Place East in Kolkata, specifically in the area designated as Kolkata 33. This part of the city has a very specific feel to it, with its old buildings and the way the trees line some of the streets. We operate out of a small space that doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside, it’s just a regular setup with some old furniture and plenty of papers. We don't go in for all that modern office decor because it doesn't really help us do our jobs any better. We’ve been around this neighborhood for a long time. People stop by when they’re passing through Charu Chandra Place, and we usually have time for a chat. It’s a very human way of doing business. We deal with all sorts of people from across Kolkata who are looking for someone to talk to or some advice on their situation. There isn't any corporate jargon used here. We speak plain English or Bengali and just get straight to the point. The tea shop nearby is where we usually get our afternoon snacks, and that’s a big part of our daily routine. It’s a very grounded existence, and we don't try to pretend to be anything more than a local service for local people. We have been in this spot for years and don't plan on leaving.
