J. S. Engineering Works

J. S. Engineering Works is located at unit 15 in the Ajit Industrial Estate, Part 2. It’s pretty easy to find because we are right opposite the Kwality Ice Cream building on Nagarvel Hanuman Road. In Amraiwadi, things move fast, and there’s always the sound of machines running in the background. Here at the shop, we deal with a lot of heavy metal and engineering tasks. It’s dusty and noisy, and there is usually grease on someone’s hands, but that’s just how an engineering workshop in Ahmedabad works. We don’t have a big corporate team; it’s just the regulars who know their way around the lathes and the welding tools. Some of us have been here since the early days when this part of the estate was a bit quieter. Now, with the ice cream factory across the way, there’s always a bit of a buzz. We spend our days fixing parts and making sure the orders for the local factories get finished. Sometimes the power goes out or a machine acts up, but we just fix it and keep going. We don’t use a lot of big words for what we do. It’s just practical engineering. People come to us when they have a problem with a machine, and we try to figure it out together. It’s honest work that keeps us busy from morning until late at night when we finally lock up the gates.
