Digital Haldia

Our shop is at 13 More in Brajanathchak, right within the Haldia Township area. If you’re coming from the port side, it’s not hard to find. We are in a busy part of the township, so there’s always something happening outside the door. The humidity here near the port can be tough on the electronics, so we try to keep the fans running all day long to keep things cool. We handle a lot of digital work, mostly people needing things printed or scanned. The counter is usually covered in folders and loose sheets of paper that people have left behind. We have a few computers lined up against the wall and the chairs aren't the most comfortable, but they do the job for now. We often talk to the people waiting about the local news or the weather while the printer is doing its thing. It’s a small community here in Haldia and we see a lot of the same faces every week coming in for one thing or another. Sometimes the power cuts out, which is just part of living in this area, so we take that time to tidy up the shop or go for a short walk. There’s a small tea stall just a few steps away where we get our morning chai. We don’t have a big team, just a couple of us who know how to run the software and the printers. We just take things as they come and try to get everyone’s work finished.
