The Technologica

The Technologica is tucked away at No. 11 on the ground floor of Khairu Place. We are right on Princep Street and not too far from the Bow Bazar Police Station. If you have been to this part of Kolkata, you know it is the heart of the electronics and hardware market. Our shop is right in the thick of it. Being on the ground floor is a huge help because we are always moving heavy equipment in and out. It’s a bit cramped inside with all the stock we keep. We don’t have fancy lighting or air conditioning that works all the time. It is a real working space. We deal with all sorts of technical equipment and parts that local shops and individuals need. The street outside is always full of rickshaws and people carrying bundles. It can be a bit overwhelming if you aren't used to it. We have been here long enough that we know most of the neighbors. We aren't a big corporation with a marketing budget. We just open our doors and help whoever walks in. Most of our day is spent looking through catalogs or testing out components. It’s honest work and we enjoy being part of this busy community. It gets noisy with the police station nearby and the traffic, but we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. We usually share a round of tea in the afternoon while the rain pours outside.
