Hard & Soft

Burrabazar is always a chaotic place to be, but we’ve made our home here on the third floor of 46 Strand Road. It’s an old building, like most things in this part of Kolkata. You have to navigate through the crowds and the narrow stairs to get up to us. Once you’re inside, it’s a bit quieter than the street below. We’ve been handling both hardware and software stuff for a long time. People around here just call us when their systems crash or they need a new part installed. The room is filled with the smell of old paper and electronics. We have stacks of motherboards and software discs that have been here for years. It’s a functional space, not a showroom. We don't spend money on fancy decorations because that's not why people come to see us. They come because we know how to fix things. Being in Burrabazar means we are close to everything, which is helpful when we need to source a specific component. The fans are always running to keep the machines cool. It gets humid in the summer, and the old building holds the heat, but we stay busy. We know most of the traders in the building and the nearby lanes. It’s a tight-knit community and we’ve been a part of it for quite a while now. Just a simple shop on Strand Road where the work actually gets finished.
