Gopal Engineering Works

If you head down to the Kailash Industrial Estate behind CMC Odhav, you will find us at units 2/4 and 5. Gopal Engineering Works has been operating out of this space for quite some time. It is a bit of a maze getting back here sometimes with all the trucks moving around, but we like it. The shop floor is always full of metal scraps and the smell of cutting oil. We spend most of our hours making parts and fixing things that people bring in from other factories nearby. It is not a glamorous job, but it pays the bills and keeps the hands busy. We have a few older lathes and some newer equipment too, though the old ones usually work just as well if you know how to handle them. Sometimes the rain gets a bit heavy and we have to watch the doorway, but mostly it is just the usual daily routine. We drink a lot of chai while we talk over how to finish a specific piece of work. My brother and I, along with a couple of helpers, run the place. We do not spend much time on the computer or doing paperwork if we can help it. We would rather be out there actually making something. It is loud, it is dirty, and it is what we know how to do. There is no secret to it, just showing up every morning and putting in the hours until the sun goes down.
