Balaji Engineering

Balaji Engineering is tucked away in Kamakshi Palya on Dongarsi Road, at building number 1471. We are a small engineering workshop, so the place is usually full of the smell of oil and the sound of metal being worked on. We have various machines for cutting and welding, and there are always scraps of iron and steel in the corners. It’s not a clean environment, our hands are usually covered in grease by the end of the day, but that’s the nature of the work. We handle all sorts of mechanical repairs and small fabrication jobs for the people and businesses around here. The road outside can get a bit muddy when it rains, making it hard to move the heavier pieces of equipment, but we manage. We’ve been at 1471 for quite a while now, and most of our customers are locals who know they can just drop in with a broken part and we will see what we can do. We don’t use any fancy computer programs or anything; we mostly rely on old-fashioned tools and our own experience to figure things out. It’s hot work, especially near the welding area, but we are used to it. We just take each job as it comes, whether it's a small hinge that needs fixing or something bigger. It’s just us doing what we know how to do. Most days the metal dust is everywhere and we have to sweep up.
