Anu Engineering Works

Anu Engineering Works is located at 65/2 in the Kamakshipalya Industrial Area. If you’ve ever walked through this part of Bangalore, you know it smells like machine oil and cut metal. Our workshop is one of many in the row, and it stays pretty noisy from morning until the evening. We have several machines running most of the time, and the floor is usually covered in metal shavings. It’s a hands-on kind of place. The guys here have grease under their fingernails and they know these machines inside and out. We don’t have a fancy front office; just a desk tucked into a corner where we handle the invoices and the drawings. Sometimes the light isn't great, but we’ve got enough lamps over the work stations to see what we’re doing. We mostly communicate through shouts over the hum of the motors. It’s a tight-knit group here. Most of us have been working in Kamakshipalya for a long time. We don't do much in the way of promotion. People usually just drop by with a part that needs fixing or a drawing for something they need made. We look at the specs, tell them how long it will take, and then get back to the machines. It’s honest work that keeps us busy every day of the week, and we prefer it that way. There is always a lot of clanking and banging going on in our shed during the day.
