Summary
In the early 20th century, Kolkata was home to 20,000 Chinese. It was India’s first Chinese community, made up of labourers who had migrated mainly from the Guangdong province. While the early Chinese migrants in Kolkata had to find work in the city's famed tanning and leather industries, newer generations are broadening their horizons.
Ethnic Chinese like Dominic Lee are continuing their family’s legacy with Pou Chong - an iconic company that introduced Chinese sauces to Kolkata. On the other hand, there are entrepreneurs like Monica Liu who is building an F&B empire with her chain of Chinese restaurants.
