Freelance Marketing Consultant

Living and working in Hindusthan Park is quite something. My place is at 59 1 B, right in the heart of this part of Kolkata. If you’ve walked around here, you know it’s got a specific feel to it. I’ve been doing this freelance marketing work from my home office for a few years now. It started out as a side thing while I was still figuring out what to do with my career, but then it just grew into a full-time job. I don’t have a flashy office with a sign outside. It’s just me, my laptop, and a lot of coffee from the local shops nearby. Marketing is a bit of a weird field because everyone thinks they can do it, but then they realize it takes a lot of time to actually get results. I spend most of my mornings checking data and the afternoons talking to clients about their social media or their ads. The neighborhood is usually quiet enough for me to concentrate, though the sounds of the street vendors keep me company. I like that I can just walk out and find something good to eat when I’m tired of looking at screens. People in Kolkata appreciate a good conversation, so I end up spending a lot of time just chatting with business owners about their ideas. It’s not a corporate grind. It’s just honest work helping people get their names out there.
