Tropical Cooling & Engineering Co

We’ve been here at Akrur Dutta Lane for a while now. Tropical Cooling & Engineering Co is mostly just us handling repairs and looking at machines that aren't working right. It’s a busy part of Bowbazar, so there’s always something to do. The shop at 6/1 is where we keep the tools and the spare parts for the jobs people bring in. It gets hot in the summer and that is when things get really crowded around here. We just try to get to everyone as fast as we can. My father started this and now we just keep it going day by day. It’s not a fancy office, just a workspace with a lot of old equipment lying around. Sometimes the phone rings all morning and we’re out on calls across the city. People know where to find us if their cooling system stops. We don’t spend much time on the computer or doing paperwork, mostly we are just fixing things with our hands. The lane is narrow, so parking is a bit of a pain, but we manage. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years but our spot hasn't moved. If you walk past the corner, you’ll see the sign hanging out front. It’s just honest work. We don't have a big team, just a couple of guys who know how these machines actually run. It isn't a huge operation but we get the job done.
