Vesuvius India Limited

If you head down Sarat Ghosh Garden Road in Dhakuria, you’ll find us at number 152 H. It’s a busy part of Kolkata, as most of West Bengal seems to be. Vesuvius India Limited has been based here for a good stretch of time. Sudeepta Majumder handles a lot of the things around here. It’s a typical office environment where we just get on with the job. The street noise sometimes filters through the windows, but you get used to the sounds of the city after a while. We aren't doing anything flashy. It’s just a regular workspace with some computers and a lot of folders. The local market is nearby so lunch is usually something quick from a stall. We don't have a corporate cafeteria or a gym. It’s just a place where people work hard and then head home on the train or bus. Some days are more hectic than others, especially when deadlines are tight. We try to keep the place tidy but there’s always something that needs filing. It feels like a real community around Dhakuria. Neighbors know each other and we’ve become part of the scenery. It’s a decent place to be based. We don't need much else besides a reliable roof and some good light to work by. We’ve made it our own over the years. We hope to stay here for a while and just keep going.
