Kamal drives & automation services

Our place is at 4 Ami Apartments, right near Saraswati High School on Punit Road. You can hear the kids playing during recess and the school bell ringing all day. It’s in Manainagar, which is a busy part of Ahmedabad. We set up the office in an apartment building because it was easier than finding a big industrial shed. It’s a bit unusual for an automation service, but it works for us. We have drives and spare parts stacked up in the spare room. The living area is where the main desks are. We spend a lot of time on the road visiting factories, so the office is often just a place to recharge and do the billing. The neighbors are used to us carrying heavy boxes up and down the stairs by now. It’s not a fancy corporate park with glass walls. It’s just a regular building with people living their lives all around us. We have a small kitchen where we make coffee. The balcony is where we go to take a breather and look at the traffic on Punit Road. It gets very hot in the summer, so we have the AC running constantly. We don't have a big staff, just a few of us who know the technical stuff. We just focus on fixing the drives and getting back to the clients. Sometimes the elevator stops working and we have to carry everything up ourselves which is quite a workout.
