Saurashtra Trading Co.

If you’re looking for Saurashtra Trading Co., you’ll find us at 1, Bonfield Lane. We’re up on the 3rd floor. Kolkata is a city of narrow lanes and old buildings, and our street is no exception. It’s a very busy trading hub, so there’s always people hauling goods and shouting. The building we’re in has a lot of history and the stairs are a bit steep if you aren't used to them. Our office is just a simple room filled with ledgers and samples of what we trade. It’s not a place where you’ll find modern furniture or high-tech gadgets. We like to do things the traditional way, with a lot of face-to-face talk and handshakes. The 3rd floor gives us a bit of a view of the chaos below on Bonfield Lane. It’s amazing how much business gets done in such a small, crowded space. We’ve been at this address for many years now. The fan keeps spinning all day to deal with the heat. We don’t have any big signs or advertisements. Most people find us through word of mouth or long-standing relationships. It’s just the way it has always been for us. Every day is a mix of phone calls and ledger entries. We keep it moving as best as we can in the humidity. It’s not a fancy life, but this lane is where we belong.
