Punj Lloyd Limited

If you find yourself on D.D. Mondal Ghat Road in Calcutta, you’ll find us at number 39. This is where Punj Lloyd Limited operates from in this part of West Bengal. The zip code is 700076. The building has that old Calcutta charm, which basically means it's seen a lot of monsoons and has some stains on the walls. It’s close enough to the river that you can feel the humidity pretty strongly most days. Inside, the ceilings are high and the fans are almost always spinning at top speed. We have a lot of old ledgers and files because we’ve been doing this for a long time. It’s not the kind of place with open-plan seating and bean bags. We have solid wooden desks and chairs that don’t roll very well on the tile floor. The street outside can be quite chaotic with rickshaws and people heading towards the ghat, but once you step inside, it’s a different world. We keep things simple. There’s a small group of us here, and we mostly just stick to our routine. We handle the local coordination and keep track of everything coming in and out. Lunch is usually something from the local shops or a tiffin brought from home. It’s a humble place, but it’s our home base here, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. It feels like a real, honest part of the city.
