Installation Engineer

We operate out of Doddanekkundi, right near the Outer Ring Road in Bangalore. Being close to the main road is handy because we’re usually headed out to different sites most of the morning. The space here is mostly used for storing tools, cables, and various pieces of equipment that N. K. Somashekhar keeps organized—or tries to, anyway. It’s a typical engineering setup where functionality comes way before looks. There’s always a half-finished project on the bench and a pot of coffee that’s probably been sitting there too long. We deal with installations, which means a lot of troubleshooting and figuring out why something isn't fitting where it should. Bangalore traffic is a constant factor in our day, so we plan our trips around the congestion as much as we can. It’s just a few of us doing the actual technical work. We don't have a front desk or a receptionist; if the phone rings, one of us just wipes our hands and picks it up. It’s a straightforward way of doing things. We’ve been in this spot for a while now and know the local vendors pretty well. If we’re missing a bolt or a specific wire, we know exactly where to run and get it. It’s practical, hands-on work that keeps us busy from sunrise until the jobs are done for the day. No corporate manuals here, just a lot of experience and some heavy toolboxes.
