Alpha Power Systems

Down here at 450 Gandhiji Road in Bangalore, things stay pretty busy. Alpha Power Systems is basically just me and a few guys handling the daily work. We’ve been in Ramamurthy Nagar for quite some time now. The shop is full of batteries, wires, and parts that we need for the jobs. It’s not the cleanest place because there’s always something being taken apart or put back together on the benches. I usually have a half-drunk cup of coffee on my workbench. We deal with power stuff, mostly fixing things or getting systems set up for people nearby. The traffic on Gandhiji Road can be a real headache, especially in the evenings when everyone is heading home after work. Our floor is concrete and has some oil stains from years of work. I try to keep the tools organized, but they always end up in a pile by Friday afternoon. It’s a local business, so we know most of the people on this street. We don’t have a fancy website or a receptionist sitting at the front. If the phone rings, I just pick it up while I’m working on a unit. It’s practical work for real people. Sometimes it’s hot in here, but we keep the fans going to stay cool. It’s just how we do things at our little spot in Bangalore. We’ve been here for a while and plan on staying for a lot longer.
