Everest House, Office building in Chowringhee Road, India.

Everest House is a 21-floor commercial building on Chowringhee Road that reaches 84 meters high with a contemporary glass and concrete design. The ground floor features shops and showrooms while the upper levels contain offices with adaptable spaces for different business purposes.

The building was completed in 1978 during a period of significant urban expansion and economic growth in eastern India. It emerged as part of Kolkata's larger transformation into a modern commercial center.

The building marks a shift in how Kolkata's business district adapted to modern international design standards and remains a visual anchor in the local skyline. It continues to symbolize the city's embrace of contemporary commercial architecture within its historic urban fabric.

Everest House stands on Jawaharlal Nehru Road (Chowringhee Road) in the central business district, with the ground floor given over to showrooms and retail or hospitality outlets. The 21 floors above hold around 104 offices, with an average floor plate of about 1,600 m². Visitors heading for a specific office should confirm its floor before entering, since the tower serves many separate tenants.

Everest House was overtaken in April 2019, when the 268 m tower "The 42" rose nearby and dwarfed it along with other longstanding high-rises. Until then it had held its place on the skyline for over four decades, since its completion in 1978.
