Shivam Engineers

We are at Plot No 154 in the Dediyasan Industrial Estate. It’s a pretty standard industrial shed, nothing too special to look at from the street. Inside, though, we have our lathes and welding equipment set up. I started Shivam Engineers because I liked fixing things and it eventually turned into a full-time business. We do a lot of job work for other companies nearby. Some days we are fixing a broken shaft and other days we are fabricating a whole new frame for someone. The floor is usually covered in metal shavings by the end of the shift. We try to sweep up, but it’s a never-ending task. The lighting could be better, but we make do with what we have. Most of my day is spent checking measurements or talking to customers who drop by with their parts. We don’t really use fancy computer systems for our scheduling. Everything is written down in a big blue diary on my desk. It works for us. The guys who work with me are locals and they know their machines inside and out. We aren't trying to be the biggest shop in the estate. We just want to do work that holds up and keep our regular customers happy. It’s a busy life here in Dediyasan and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
