Sukdeb Saha Export & Import

We are located at 10 C, Middleton Row in Kolkata. It’s an old part of the city with a lot of history, and our office fits right in with that. We handle export and import stuff, which basically means we spend our lives dealing with containers and customs officials. It’s not as exciting as it sounds on paper. Most of the time, it’s just making sure that every single document is stamped and signed properly so nothing gets held up at the port. Kolkata is a big shipping hub, so there’s always something moving. We have a small team here. We don't have a big corporate hierarchy or anything like that. If the phone rings, whoever is closest picks it up. We talk to people in different countries every day, which can be a bit tricky with the different time zones. Sometimes I’m sending emails late at night from home just to catch someone in a different part of the world. We’ve been doing this for a while and have seen the trade rules change many times. We just adapt and keep going. The office can get a bit stuffy in the summer heat, but we have our fans and our tea. It’s a steady kind of work that requires a lot of patience. We don't make big promises we can't keep. We just try to get the jobs done and keep our clients from having too many headaches. It's just us doing the best we can.
