Malika Incorpporation

Malika Incorpporation is tucked away at 48, Jhawtalla Road. If you know the area, you know how the traffic can be, so we usually hear the constant sound of horns and engines from our window. The building we are in is quite old and has that specific smell of aged paper and stone. Our space is filled with desks that are usually covered in piles of folders and notebooks because we still like to write things down. It’s not a very large office, so we have to be careful not to trip over the power cords or the extra chairs. We spend most of our time on the phone or typing away at emails, trying to keep up with everything that needs to be done. Sometimes we have to move the furniture around just to make room for a new shipment of supplies. The air conditioner is a bit loud and clunky, but it’s a lifesaver when the Kolkata humidity gets too heavy. We don’t have a professional cleaning crew coming in every night, so we usually take turns sweeping the floor ourselves before we leave. It’s a very grounded way of working. We eat our lunches together at a small table in the corner, usually sharing whatever we brought from home. It’s just a group of us working hard at 48 Jhawtalla Road, making sure the business stays on track one day at a time without any unnecessary complications.
