Hi everyone.
I look forward to welcoming you with me in Kolkata. It gives me great pleasure to know more about local cultures, traditions and we'd love to hear tales of your travels. On a personal level, the fantastic cultural exchange has been wonderful and I look forward to a culturally diverse adventure with you.
Coming to me, I am a teacher and educator looking to build my own business. I just started an online class service which I will expand into freelance English teaching projects and a marketing consultant firm or helping with English classes depending on tasks required from day to day.
Coming to where I live, it’s in the suburbs of Kolkata which is relatively quiet in comparison to the city. There is connectivity to the city by bus and metro. The apartment is very safe with security and various facilities like a library, swimming pool, etc.
Currently, I can accommodate only female workawayers but I hope to change that in the future.
I am looking for somebody to support and assist me in matters of teaching, marketing and customer relations of my startup.
If there is someone who has skills in building websites and Digital marketing it would be highly appreciated
However, I have experienced each individual has their own set of strengths and I try to get to know you better so that I can assign the work accordingly.
Why Kolkata?

Please come with an open mind and remember that India is an unique and different country. Therefore expect the unexpected and as I like to say while travelling "Its not good or bad. Its different." The same way there might be many things that might surprise you and it might be very different than your home/native land. It might take a while to get comfortable as India is the kind of country that is an acquired taste.
This business is very new so we are looking to improve our website, to help me with online classes, planning routines and tasks as well as customer relationships.
Anyone with any knowledge of websites or digital marketing would be very helpful.

Located at the Eastern banks of the Hoogly, Kolkata is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. The city is home to the oldest functioning port in India and is the 3rd most populated metropolitan in India after Mumbai and Delhi.
