Parikh Power

Parikh Power operates out of Plot L-522 in the Sudarshan Export Industrial area, which is part of the Kerala GIDC. It’s a bit of a journey to get out here, but it’s a good spot for what we do. We handle a lot of heavy-duty work that requires a bit of space. The workshop isn't exactly tidy, but we know where everything is. If you asked me for a specific wrench, I could probably find it under a pile of rags in two seconds. That’s just how we work. We focus on power-related equipment, mostly fixing and maintaining things that other people use to keep their own factories running. It’s a lot of manual labor and getting your hands dirty. We don’t have an HR department or a PR person. If there’s an issue, we just talk it out on the shop floor. The guys here are good people, mostly locals who have been working in the GIDC for most of their lives. We take breaks together and talk about the news or the weather, then it’s back to the machines. It’s not a complicated life. We make sure the equipment that comes through our doors leaves in better shape than it arrived. We’ve seen other shops come and go in this industrial estate, but we just keep doing our thing at L-522.
