Samratroy

My name is Samratroy and I am based out of H/1/1 in Belgachia Villa, Kolkata. This part of North Kolkata has a very specific feel to it, with the old houses and the narrow lanes. My workspace is right here in the villa area. It’s a humble setup, nothing like those tall glass buildings you see in Salt Lake or Rajarhat. I’ve got my desk, my computer, and a lot of books piled up in the corner. I’ve lived in Kolkata all my life, so I’m used to the noise of the buses and the general chaos of the city. I didn't start this business to get rich quick. I just wanted something steady that I could manage on my own terms. Some days the heat is unbearable and I have to stop working for a bit, but mostly I’m here from nine to six. I don't have a polished sales pitch. If someone asks what I do, I just tell them plainly. I don’t use social media much for work because I think doing a good job is the best way to get more work. My neighbors often see me coming and going, and we usually stop to talk about the weather or the local news. It’s a very grounded way to live and work. I don't need much more than this to be happy and keep the lights on.
