Kiran Uttam Ghosh

This business is run from 21, Rajendra Nath Sarkhel School Road, over in the South Rabindranagar area of Dum Dum Cant. It’s a bit of a long address, but it’s home for us. Kolkata is a big city, and being near Dum Dum means we’re always hearing the sounds of the neighborhood. Kiran Uttam Ghosh isn’t some big factory. It’s more of a personal venture where we focus on design and getting things made properly. The workspace is simple. We have our tables, our machines, and a lot of sketches lying around. Sometimes the power goes out, or the rain makes the road outside a bit messy, but we keep going. We don’t have a fancy showroom. If people want to see what we do, they usually just come by the workshop. It’s a very hands-on process here. We spend a lot of time debating over colors and patterns. It’s not always perfect, and sometimes a design takes much longer than we thought it would. We’re just trying to make things that look good and feel right. It’s a small team, mostly just family and a few helpers from the local area. We don't use much marketing speak because we’d rather just show the work. It’s a modest setup on a quiet school road, and we’re happy to keep it that way for now. We mostly enjoy the creative side of things and seeing a piece finally finished.
