Shiv Computer Zone

Our place is H-302 in the Saptak building. It is right across from Aayushyman Plaza and Vitthal Plaza, which stays pretty crowded most of the day. New Naroda has grown a lot, so there are always new people coming in with broken screens or asking why their internet is so slow at home. We are up on the third floor, so it is a bit quieter than the street level, but we still hear the horns and traffic from Balaji Road. The shop is filled with various bits of hardware and half-assembled towers. We don't really decorate much, mostly just shelves for the stuff we are working on. Some days we are just cleaning out dust from old machines that haven't been opened in five years. It’s messy work, and our hands usually have some grease or ink on them by noon. People from the nearby apartments in Naroda stop by after work usually. We try to get things done fast, but some parts take forever to arrive when we order them. It’s just how it is. We don't use fancy software to track things, just a notebook and some sticky notes on the monitors. It works for us. We handle a lot of software installs too, especially for students who need specific programs for their classes. It’s a small operation, but it keeps us busy from morning to night and we wouldn't have it any other way.
