M. N. Panchal & Co.

You can find us at Gopal Estate in Odhav. We are at Plot No. 23 and 24/A, right behind Harshad Chambers and across from the Vallabh Nagar High School. Being near a school, we hear the kids during their breaks and when they leave for the day, which is a nice change from the sound of the machines. We are an engineering shop, so our daily life involves a lot of metal work, fabrication, and repairs. The estate is always busy with other small businesses, so there’s a lot of coming and going and noise from the street. Our workshop is filled with various tools and machines we’ve collected over the years. Some of them are older, but they still work perfectly for what we need to do. We don't have a professional cleaning crew coming in every night, so there’s usually a bit of metal shavings on the floor or some dust on the shelves. It’s a place where work actually happens. We have a small office area where we sit down with customers to talk about what they need and look at their sketches. We don't use a lot of technical jargon or try to impress people with big words. We just look at the job and tell them what we can do and how long it might take. It’s a family-run kind of feeling here, and we’ve known many of our customers for a long time. We just keep our heads down and do the work as it comes in.
