Mridul Pan

The shop is situated on Purba Sinthee Road in the Dum Dum area of Kolkata. If you know the neighborhood, you know it gets quite crowded during the morning and evening hours. We have been operating from this 700028 pin code for quite some time now. It’s not a huge space, but it serves us well for what we do every day. Most of our mornings start with setting things up and getting ready for whoever might drop by. The road outside is always full of rickshaws and people walking to the local market. It can be a bit noisy, but that is just part of living and working in Kolkata. We don't really do much advertising or anything like that. People mostly find us by walking past or hearing about us from someone else in the locality. We just focus on the work at hand. Sometimes the weather makes things a bit slow, especially when it rains hard and the street gets messy. But we stay open and keep things moving as much as we can. It is a very straightforward setup here. No big corporate offices or anything like that, just a local business trying to do things right. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years, but Purba Sinthee Road still has that same old feeling to it. We are just glad to be a small part of this busy community. There are no secrets to how we work, we just show up and do it.
