Dipankar Das

I run things under my own name, Dipankar Das, out of Mohishbathan in the Kotwali area. It isn't a big setup with a lot of signs or anything like that. I mostly just work out of a small space where I can keep all my tools and papers organized. It’s just me and a couple of others who help out when things get busy. Being in Mohishbathan is nice because it’s a community where people actually know each other. I don't really spend money on big ads or marketing because I think if you do a decent job, people will tell their friends. My day usually starts early and ends whenever the work is finished, which sometimes means late nights. I don't have a secretary to answer the phone, so if you call, you just get me. It can be a bit messy sometimes with things piled up, but I know where everything is. I like the independence of working for myself. It means I can take the time to do things the way I think they should be done without some boss telling me to hurry up. It is just a simple, local business. I am not trying to get rich, just making enough to keep going and take care of the family. That’s the way I like it.
