Celebrating Two Years in Our New Office

August 12, 2025

We celebrated two years in our new office at South City Business Park, Anandapur, Kolkata. Moving from our old office at 5 C.R. Avenue was not easy, but it was worth it. The transition took a lot of teamwork and effort from every department. Though our old office worked, it had many challenges. Now, as we settle into the new space, we can see that those challenges helped us create a much better workplace.

Challenges in the Old Office

In our old office, we had a few problems. The office was spread over two floors, which made communication difficult. The MD’s office and teams like Engineering, Sales, and Marketing were on the 4th floor, while the other departments were on the 1st floor. Employees had to move between floors, which wasted a lot of time.

The old office also did not have enough spaces for meetings or socializing. There was no dedicated café or event space, and meeting rooms were limited. Meetings were often delayed or canceled due to a lack of available rooms. Parking was another issue, with no designated spaces for cars or bikes, making daily travels stressful.

Despite these problems, we made the best of it. However, it became clear that we needed a change for a better working environment.

A Vision for Change

Our MD saw the need for a more comfortable and functional workspace and took action. We decided to move to a larger office that would fit all our departments in one roof and improve the work experience. Our new office at South City Business Park is 22,000 square feet, with 19,000 square feet dedicated to office space. The design focuses on collaboration and employee comfort.

A Modern, Open Office for Collaboration

The new office features an open layout with a large sit-out area that encourages team interactions. All departments now work on a single floor, making communication easier. We also have a discussion area for team meetings. The office is fully air-conditioned and has indoor plants to improve air quality and employee well-being.

Improved Meeting and Workspaces

In the new office, we have more meeting rooms, six in total and a spacious boardroom. This has completely solved the problem of unavailable rooms. Each meeting room has a large TV screen for easy presentations.

The furniture is carefully selected for comfort. Workstations, chairs, and storage solutions come from Steelcase, a global leader in office furniture. The chairs are designed to support long hours of work, providing ergonomic comfort. The workstations are spacious and well-lit, creating a productive environment. For HODs, there are open cubicles offering privacy and space for collaboration. The Directors and CEO have private rooms and an executive lounge.

Thoughtful Design for Everyone

The office is designed with everyone in mind. The MD’s cabin is in the southwest corner, following Vastu principles. Accounts is located on the northern side, and there is a peaceful puja space in the northeast corner. We also have a separate server room and storage compactor areas. The reception area is designed to make a strong first impression with a mix of construction-style décor and modern touches.

Spaces for Relaxation and Socializing

We believe in work-life balance. Our new office includes a café area with a tea/coffee machine, water dispenser, microwave, and digital news board. It is a place for employees to relax, recharge, and connect with colleagues.

Lighting and Comfort

The office is filled with natural light, and the lighting system from Jaguar Lighting ensures the space is well-lit and energy-efficient. The lighting design is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, creating a bright and comfortable workspace.

A New Beginning

This new office is not just a physical space—it represents a new chapter for our company. It shows our commitment to creating an environment that boosts productivity, collaboration, and employee well-being. Moving from the old office to the new one was a challenge, but it was worth it. With the modern design, ergonomic workspaces, more meeting rooms, and comfortable amenities, we now have the perfect environment to continue growing and achieving our goals.

We are grateful to our MD for making this vision a reality. Our new office is not just a place to work, it’s a place where employees can thrive, collaborate, and feel proud to be part of a company that values both their well-being and success.
