MAHARDHI GRIHA NIRMAN PRIVATE LIMITED

You can find us on the first floor of number 5, Chittaranjan Avenue. It is right in the thick of things in Kolkata, which means the sound of buses and taxis is basically our background music all day long. The office has those high ceilings you see in the older buildings around here. It is a bit drafty in the winter and we have to keep the fans on high in the summer. We focus on building houses and apartments, so there is always a lot of talk about bricks, sand, and labor shifts. The first floor is convenient because we don’t have to wait for the old lift that sometimes stops between floors for no reason. We have some large maps of the city pinned to the walls with different project locations marked in red ink. Most of the time, the desks are a mess of receipts and tea biscuits. We are not the type of company that has a receptionist in a suit. Usually, whoever is closest to the door just says hello and asks what you need. It is a busy atmosphere but not in a stressed-out corporate way. We just have a lot to get through before the sun goes down. Sometimes we stay late to finish the payroll, but we usually try to head out before the worst of the evening rush hour hits the Avenue. It is just regular people doing regular construction work in a very old part of town.
