Hindustan Aeronautics Limited

We are based over at the Engine Division in CV Raman Nagar. Being part of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited means we are located in a very large area with a lot of local history. This part of Bangalore used to be full of trees, and many are still there, but inside the gates, it’s strictly about the technical work. We deal with engines here, so it’s a very specialized environment. There’s always the sound of testing or some heavy machinery running in the background. It is definitely not a place for someone who likes total silence. The buildings themselves have been here for a long time, and you can really tell by the way they are constructed. They are solid, gray, and very functional. We spend a lot of our time in our work clothes, moving between the different sections of the division. It’s a huge site, so we end up doing a lot of walking every day. Lunchtime is when everyone finally gathers at the canteen, and you can hear a mix of different languages and regional accents. It’s a very diverse group of people working here. We don’t have any fancy marketing offices or designer furniture. It’s mostly just workshops, testing labs, and basic office spaces for the mountains of paperwork. It can get quite greasy and loud, but that’s the reality of engine work. We’re just a bunch of people doing a specific job. It takes focus.
