Raamda Machines

Raamda Machines is located in Vatva, specifically in Phase-1 of the GIDC area. We are in the Manthan Industrial Estate at plot number 32. It’s easy to find if you look for the Chokshi Tube Bus Stop; we are right near there. The estate is always buzzing with the sound of different factories. Our shed isn't the biggest, but we fit all our equipment in. We work on various types of machinery here. Some days are spent fixing old units, and other days we are putting together new ones. The floor is concrete and stays cool even when it’s hot outside. We have a small office at the front where the paperwork piles up, but most of the action is in the back. The workers here are local guys who know their way around a wrench. We don’t have any big speeches about what we do. We just take the drawings or the broken parts and get to work. Sometimes the power goes out in the afternoon, so we take a break until it comes back on. It’s just the way things are in the industrial estate. We’ve been here long enough that the neighbors all know us. We share tools sometimes if someone is in a pinch. It’s a good community. We keep the gates open during the day so the air circulates. It’s honest work and we stay busy from morning till evening. We keep a few spare motors on the rack just in case someone needs an urgent replacement. That's basically us.
