Panasonic Battery India C. Ltd

Panasonic Battery India C. Ltd has its local office here in Kolkata at A-39, Bapuji Nagar. This is part of the Regent Estate area, right near Jadavpur. It’s a very traditional Kolkata neighborhood. The streets are narrow and full of life. Our office isn't a giant warehouse. It’s a functional space where we manage the distribution of batteries. We have stacks of boxes everywhere. Everything from small AA cells to bigger industrial ones. The humidity here is no joke, so the office always feels a bit heavy. We have a small staff of about ten people. We’ve all known each other for a long time. We take our lunch breaks together and talk about the local football matches. Getting the delivery trucks through the Bapuji Nagar lanes is a daily challenge. We often have to go out and direct traffic so the van can back in. It’s not a polished corporate environment. We have old wooden cupboards and posters on the walls that have been there for a decade. Sometimes the tea man comes by with clay cups, and everything stops for ten minutes. We just handle the orders and make sure the shops in Jadavpur and beyond have their stock. It’s a lot of phone work and checking manifests. We don't have any big slogans. We just work through the pile of orders every morning and hope the rain doesn't flood the street outside too much.
