G K Engineering Works

G K Engineering Works is located on Magadi Road, specifically at number 12 on Krishna Vatika Marg. It’s a noisy place most of the time because of the machines running. We’ve got lathes and various tools spread across the floor. It’s not the kind of place where you’d want to wear a nice suit because there’s grease and metal shavings everywhere. I started this workshop because I like working with my hands and fixing things that are broken. We take on all sorts of small jobs for people in the area. Sometimes it’s a part for a machine, other times it’s just someone needing a piece of metal cut to size. The roof is corrugated metal, so when it rains, you can hardly hear yourself think. We don't have a fancy reception area or anyone to greet you at the door. You just walk in and find whoever isn't busy at a machine. It’s a practical environment. My hands are usually stained with oil by ten in the morning, and that’s just how it goes. Magadi Road is always packed with trucks and traffic, so getting deliveries in can be a bit of a headache. We just manage as best as we can. It’s honest work and it keeps the lights on. We’ve been at this Krishna Vatika Marg spot for quite a while, and the neighbors don't seem to mind the clanking sounds too much.
