The novel portrays a city where thousands of educated young people struggle for jobs and a better future. Somnath's journey from an idealistic job seeker to a morally compromised businessman exposes the darker side of urban life and commercial success
Sankar (Mani Shankar Mukherji) was one of Bengal's widely read novelists and also wrote successful non-fiction. Two of his novels, Seemabaddha (Company Limited) and Jana Aranya (The Middleman), were adapted into films by Satyajit Ray.
Somnath Banerjee is a young graduate in 1970s Calcutta who repeatedly fails to secure a job. He eventually becomes a middleman in the order-supply business and begins building his own enterprise. As his ambitions grow, he is forced into increasingly unethical decisions, including exploiting an innocent woman to win an important business contract. His transformation reveals the human cost of unemployment, competition and corruption.
