Kolkata

Kolkata is a deeply historic, vibrant metropolis sprawling along the eastern bank of the Hooghly River. Serving as the primary commercial, financial, and educational hub of Eastern India, it beautifully bridges a rich colonial past with modern urban development. Kolkata is universally celebrated for its artistic heritage, iconic architecture, profound literary legacy, and for hosting some of the country’s oldest and most prestigious academic institutions, including the country's first premier national management and research centers.
