Hind Electric & Trading Co Rabindra Sarani

You can find us at the Tiretta Market on the first floor. We are in Room No 17, right opposite Poddar Court on Rabindra Sarani, over by Chittaranjan Avenue. This area of Kolkata is always crowded and full of energy. Getting up to the first floor can be a bit of a walk through the market stalls. We deal with electric goods and trading. The room is filled with boxes of wires, switches, and all sorts of electrical components. It’s a bit of a maze in here sometimes. We’ve been in Tiretta Market for a long time. The building itself is old and has a lot of character. We know the other traders on our floor well. We often share a cup of tea in the afternoon. It’s not a modern office by any means. It’s a practical trading space. We spend our day checking inventory and talking to customers who come in looking for specific parts. Sometimes the lights in the hallway flicker, which is funny considering what we sell. We just keep the records in big ledgers and try to stay on top of the orders. The noise from the street downstairs never really stops. You get used to the shouting and the horns after a while. We like being in the middle of all that activity. It feels like we are right in the heart of the trade. We don't use computers much, mostly just handwritten notes and receipts. It works for us. We have a regular delivery guy who knows exactly where to drop the supplies. It’s a tight-knit community here in the market and we’ve been here for many years.
