Pearl Transport Company Ltd(Irc Group)

Our office is in the Averi Apartment in Krishnapur. We are on the third floor, Flat 3C. It is right near Milan Bazar in Kolkata. It’s not your typical commercial building. It feels more like a home that we turned into a workspace. Pearl Transport Company is part of the IRC Group, but here on the ground, it’s just us. Ghosh Para is a crowded neighborhood. You can hear the sounds of the market and the rickshaws all day long. We have to be careful about when we move the bigger trucks because the lanes can be quite narrow. Inside, the office is pretty simple. We have a few computers and a lot of registers. We still like writing things down in books sometimes. It feels more real. The Kolkata heat can be tough, so the fan is always on high. We spend a lot of time talking to drivers over the phone. Dealing with the traffic in this part of West Bengal is a full-time job in itself. We aren't trying to be anything fancy. We just coordinate the transport and make sure the deliveries happen. It’s a lot of paperwork and a lot of patience. Sometimes we sit on the balcony and just watch the street for a minute. It’s a busy life, but it’s our life here in Krishnapur.
