Giri Engineering Works

Giri Engineering Works is a small shop over in Nandini Layout. We are right on the 1st Main Road in Saraswathipuram. It’s a residential-leaning area, so we try to keep the noise down when we can, but engineering is rarely quiet. I started this place because I liked working with my hands and it just grew from there. We do a bit of everything—welding, cutting, fixing parts for people in the neighborhood. The workshop is packed with tools I’ve collected over the years. Some of them are old but they still work better than the new stuff. You can usually find me there from early morning. It’s not a big operation. Just a couple of us making sure things are done right. The floor is usually covered in metal shavings by the end of the day. We don’t have a website or anything like that; people usually just see our sign or hear about us from a neighbor. Saraswathipuram is a nice place to work. We know the people at the local shops and they know us. Sometimes someone brings in a broken gate or a piece of machinery that needs a quick weld. We take it as it comes. It’s a simple life. We work hard, close up the shutters in the evening, and go home. There’s no mystery to it. Just Giri and his tools doing what needs to be done. It's just simple work for the folks around here.
