Help me identify this [spider]

I found it in my room, and it’s very large. Help me identify the species? If it’s poisonous I’ll kill it, otherwise not.

It would probably help to know where you are in the world: this is a pretty international board.

Oh, my bad.

I’m currently in Calcutta, India.

That looks like a huntsman spider to me. I don’t know what kind.

Edited to add:

From Wikipedia

That looks like a good possibility. These images are also identified as Indian huntsman spiders.

Heteropoda venatoria is somewhat similar but the markings appear different.

Thank you. Since it can’t kill me, I won’t kill it. Cheers.

Yay! Spiders got friends in India!
