New Horizons India Ltd

Down in Dhakuria, tucked away in Selimpur Bye Lane, you’ll find New Horizons India Ltd. The lane is quite narrow at 12C 2, so you have to be careful if you’re driving. Most of us just walk from the main road or take a cycle rickshaw. It’s a very traditional Kolkata neighborhood, with houses built close together and neighbors who know everything about everyone. Our office is on the ground floor, which is good because we don't have to deal with stairs when we’re carrying boxes. It gets a bit damp during the rainy season, but we’ve got a couple of dehumidifiers running to keep the papers dry. We have a lot of files because we haven't gone fully digital yet, mostly because we trust paper more. The light in the back room is a bit dim, so we all try to crowd into the front space where the windows are. You can hear the sounds of the local market nearby if the wind is blowing the right way. We usually stop for a break around four in the afternoon to get some snacks from the shop at the corner. It's not a high-tech center, just a place where we do our business every day. We’ve been here at this 700031 address for a good while and the people around here know us by name. It’s a comfortable, if slightly cluttered, place to work. We have an old clock on the wall that chimed every hour until it broke last spring. We never bothered to fix it.
