Frontier Modular Designs

Frontier Modular Designs is tucked away at No. 6, Manjunatha Industrial Estate in Herohalli. It’s a bit of a drive out towards Magadi Main Road, but it’s a good spot for us because we need the space. The workshop is usually filled with the sound of cutting and drilling from early morning. We don’t have a big glass storefront or a receptionist. Usually, if you come by, you’ll have to find someone in the back who isn't wearing earplugs. We focus on putting things together and making sure the measurements are right. Sometimes the dust gets everywhere no matter how much we clean, but that’s part of the job when you’re building stuff. We started this because we liked working with our hands and seeing something physical at the end of the day. It’s not always glamorous work. There are days when things don't fit perfectly on the first try and we have to start over. We spend a lot of time on the floor of the unit, sketching out ideas or checking the materials that just came in. The industrial estate can be a bit dusty and loud with all the other businesses around us, but we’ve grown used to it. It’s just a group of us trying to make things that actually work for people. We don't have time for fancy talks, we just stay busy with the tools. Every day is different, but the goal is always the same.
