Events in Kolkata
Kolkata's Durga Puja is one of the largest outdoor footfall moments in India for brands. Pandal activations, sampling and crowd management need Bengali-speaking crew booked well in advance.
Venues we prepare crew for
- Biswa Bangla Convention Centre (New Town)
- Eden Gardens
- Salt Lake Stadium
- Milan Mela ground
- Eco Park
- Science City
Plan around the calendar
Durga Puja (September or October) is the biggest season of the year for brand activations at pandals. The International Kolkata Book Fair in winter, Christmas on Park Street and cricket at Eden Gardens keep the calendar full until March.
Logistics
Kolkata Metro's Blue Line runs north to south and the newer lines reach Salt Lake and New Town; buses and autos cover the rest.

Yes. Tell us the language in your brief. In Kolkata the useful ones are Bengali, Hindi and English.
How do you check attendance?
Crew check in and out in the Lastrope Crew app with a live selfie and GPS location at the venue (or an event PIN from the supervisor). Your team sees attendance in the client dashboard and approves it.
