Value Cap Engineering, Kolkata

We are over at No. 45, Babu Bagan Lane in the Dhakuria area of Kolkata. Value Cap Engineering has been in this spot for some years now. It’s a typical Kolkata street, a bit narrow and there is always something going on outside. Our workshop isn't very large, so we have to be careful about how we store everything so we have room to move. Engineering is what we do, and it usually involves a lot of manual labor and figuring out how things fit together. We aren't a big, fancy company with a lot of money for advertising or shiny signs. We just have our small sign outside and that’s it. The humidity in Kolkata can be brutal, but we just keep working through it. We have a lot of tea throughout the day; it’s just part of the routine here in the city. We don't have a lot of staff, just a few of us who have been doing this for a long time. Our desks are covered in old papers and the floor is usually a bit messy with metal scraps. We don't worry about looking corporate or polished. We just care about getting the job done so we can head home. It’s a quiet life in a busy city, really. We’ve stayed in Dhakuria because we like the local feel. People around here know us and we know them. It’s a simple arrangement that works for us.
