M/S. Hindusthan Parsons Ltd.

Our place is over on Ramesh Dutta Street, which is a real old-school part of Kolkata. If you know the Beadon Street area, you know it’s got that specific feel to it. The building at 174 has been our base for a long time. It’s a bit cramped sometimes with all the records and equipment, but it works for us. We aren't trying to be some high-rise corporate firm; we are just Hindusthan Parsons. Most of the staff walks to work or takes the tram if they are coming from further away. The humidity in West Bengal can be a bit much, so the fans are always going in the office. We deal with various projects, and there’s always someone coming in with a question or a form to sign. It’s not a quiet job. Between the street noise and the general chatter in the office, it stays lively. We have our routines, like the mid-afternoon tea break that nobody ever skips. It’s a simple setup. We do our work, talk to the vendors, and try to keep things organized. You won't find any flashy signs here. Just a group of people who have been working together in this neighborhood for years. It’s a bit messy sometimes, and the walls could probably use some fresh paint, but the work gets done and that is what matters to us at the end of the day in the city.
