Kic Metaliks Ltd.

Kic Metaliks Ltd. is situated at 25A, Shakespeare Sarani. This is one of the more famous streets in Kolkata, and being here feels different than being in a factory zone. The building is old and has that classic Kolkata character to it. Inside, we deal with the metaliks side of the industry. It’s a lot of coordination and keeping track of shipments and accounts. The office has high ceilings and large windows, though they are usually shut against the noise and humidity of the street outside. We have been at this address for a long time, and we’ve seen the shops on the ground floor change many times over. Our work isn't about fancy presentations. It’s more about the nuts and bolts of the metal trade. People here are used to the rhythm of the city. We have our tea breaks at the same time every day, usually from the vendor just down the lane. The office is filled with old steel cupboards and stacks of paper because we still like having hard copies of everything. It’s a bit of an old-fashioned way of running things, but it works for us. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a modern lobby or high-tech gadgets. We just focus on getting the daily tasks done and making sure our records are straight. It’s a reliable place to work in a very busy part of the city. Usually, the phone starts ringing at ten and doesn't stop.
