M/S Sumit Kumar Jain & Co.

We are located on G. C. Avenue, which is right by the Chandni Chowk Metro station. If you know Kolkata, you know this area is always crowded and noisy. Our office at M/S Sumit Kumar Jain & Co. is right in the middle of all that action. It’s an old building, the kind with thick walls and high ceilings that you see around this part of the city. We’ve been operating from here for quite a while now. Most of our day is spent dealing with paperwork, talking to suppliers, and handling the logistics of our trade. The metro being so close is a lifesaver because parking on G. C. Avenue is nearly impossible. We have a small group of people working here, and we all know each other’s habits by now. It’s not a polished corporate environment. There are stacks of files everywhere and the sound of the ceiling fans is always in the background. We drink a lot of chai from the stall downstairs while we go through the accounts. Things can get stressful when a shipment is delayed or the phones won't stop ringing, but we manage to get through it. We don't do much in the way of promotion; most of our business comes from long-standing contacts in the market. It’s a traditional way of working, and it suits us fine. Being in the heart of the city keeps us busy.
