Shanker Logistics Pvt. Ltd

If you are looking for us in Kolkata, we are over in the 700029 area, dealing with all sorts of post and courier work. The office is in a typical West Bengal street, which means it’s crowded, colorful, and never quiet for even a minute. We have piles of parcels and letters sitting in bins, waiting to be sorted and sent out. It’s a bit of a maze inside with all the boxes, but we know where everything is. The ceiling fans spin constantly to keep the humidity away, though it never really feels cool enough in the peak of summer. We have a couple of old motorbikes parked outside that we use for quick trips around the city when the bigger vans can’t get through the narrow lanes. Our desks are covered in stamps, tape, and manifests that we update by hand most of the time. It is a very hands-on kind of job, and our clothes usually end up with a bit of ink or dust on them by the end of the shift. We drink a lot of tea from the shop at the corner, served in those little clay cups. There is no corporate lobby here, just a counter where people come to drop things off and ask when they will arrive. We give them a straight answer and get back to the sorting. It’s busy and messy sometimes, but that’s just how the courier business goes in Kolkata.
