Mani Group

Mani Group has its base at 24 Raja Lane in Kolkata. The pin code is 700009, which is right in the heart of the old city. The building has been around since 1982, or at least that is when things really got going for us. Raja Lane is one of those narrow streets where you have to be careful when a rickshaw comes past. It has a lot of character, with the old brickwork and the overhead wires crisscrossing the sky. We handle a variety of things under the Mani Group name. It is not just one thing; we have our hands in a few different pots. The office is a bit of a maze, filled with old furniture and stacks of papers that have been there for years. We like it that way. It feels like home. Kolkata has a slow pace compared to other cities, but it is still a lot of work to keep everything running. We don't have a website with flashy photos or a mission statement on the wall. We just show up, drink our tea, and get to work on whatever needs doing that day. Sometimes it is dealing with tenants, other times it is trading. Being in Raja Lane means we are close to everything, which is helpful. It is a traditional way of doing business, based on being present and knowing the people around you.
