Ajanta Power Press

Ajanta Power Press is basically what you see when you walk into number 69 here in Shivaji Nagar. It’s a bit noisy most days because the machines are usually running and they’ve been part of the shop for a long time now. We aren't fancy and the floor gets some oil on it, but that's just how it goes with power presses. Most people around here know where we are because we’ve sat on this street for years. It’s a busy spot in Shivaji Nagar, always stuff moving around outside. The guys here have their hands full with the metal work and the noise is just something we got used to. We keep the doors open most of the time so some air gets in, even if it brings in the dust from the road. It’s not a quiet office or anything like that. It is just a workspace where we get things done and then go home. Sometimes the machines act up but we know how to fix them ourselves. If you walk past, you’ll probably hear the clanking from down the block. We don't have a big sign or anything, just the shop at 69 Shivaji Nagar. It’s a simple setup. We deal with the heat in the summer and the rain during the monsoon, just like everyone else on this street. We’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot but we are still here doing the same things every day. It’s work, and we just keep at it.
