N.S.I.(India) Ltd.

You can find us, N.S.I.(India) Ltd., at 20/2 Gopal Bose Lane in Kolkata, right in the heart of a very traditional neighborhood. The buildings here have a lot of character, with their old brickwork and narrow staircases. We’ve been in this same spot for decades, and the office feels like it’s been there forever. It’s a bit of a maze getting here if you don’t know the lanes, but it’s a great area once you’re familiar with it. We handle a variety of trade and industrial work, which involves a lot of record-keeping and staying on the phone. We don’t have a modern, glass-and-steel office. Instead, we have high ceilings, wooden desks that have been around for ages, and a lot of history. The sounds of the street—the vendors calling out and the bells of the rickshaws—are always there in the background. It’s a very human place to work. We aren't a big, nameless company. Everyone who works here is like family, and we treat our clients the same way. We don’t use any complicated business jargon or have long, boring meetings. We just get on with the tasks at hand. Sometimes when it rains heavily, the water gets high in the lane, but we just roll up our trousers and keep going. It’s a very practical, old-school way of doing business in Kolkata.
