Akshar Electronics, Ahmedabad

Our place is located in Ambica Estate, right behind the Ambica Hotel near Ctm Cross Road. If you know the Amraiwadi area in Ahmedabad, you know it gets pretty dusty and busy with all the trucks moving in and out of the industrial zones. We’ve been at B-11 for a good while. It’s a simple setup, really. Just a workshop where we deal with electronic components and whatever else comes through the door. Most days, you’ll find us surrounded by wires and testing equipment. It can get a bit loud outside with the traffic from the main road, but inside we just focus on the work. We aren't trying to be some big corporate entity; we’re just a local business making a living. People stop by after seeing our sign near the hotel. We keep the doors open mostly to let some air in because it gets quite hot in the afternoons. There’s no fancy air conditioning in the main work area, just a couple of ceiling fans that do their best. We’ve got a small office corner for the paperwork, but most of the action happens on the benches. It’s a practical space. We know our neighbors and they know us. If you’re looking for a shiny retail store, this isn't it. We just do the technical work and try to get things back to people on time. It is a long day sometimes, but that is just part of the job here at Akshar Electronics.
