Lehman Brothers

Our place is situated right on CIT Road in Kolkata at P 140. It is an old building that has seen many changes over the years. You can feel the history of the city just by walking down this street. The traffic is always heavy and the horns never really stop, but we have gotten used to it. Inside the office, things are a bit more relaxed. We have some basic wooden furniture and a couple of computers that get the job done. We are not a large corporation with hundreds of employees. It is just a handful of us working together. Most of the staff takes the local bus or a rickshaw to get here in the morning. We usually start the day with some chai from the stall around the corner. The humidity in Kolkata can be quite something, so our old ceiling fans are always running at full speed. We do not have a shiny sign out front. People usually just look for the door number. We deal with the daily tasks as they come. It is a simple setup without any bells or whistles. Sometimes the internet is slow when it rains, but we manage. We just focus on the stuff sitting on our desks. It is a practical way to run a business and it works for us. We have grown to like the rhythm of this neighborhood and the people who live here.
