Kirloskar Elctric Co Ltd

Out here at 16 Nelamangala, things stay pretty constant. This is where Kirloskar Elctric Co Ltd has this particular setup. It is not like the big fancy offices in the city center. We are more about the actual machines and the electrical components. Every morning, the shift starts early and you can hear the hum of the equipment warming up. Nelamangala is a bit of a trek for some of us, but the air is a little different out here away from the main crush of the city. We spend our hours looking at motors or whatever electrical parts need sorting. The floor is concrete and hard on the feet, so we wear thick boots. We don't really do much in the way of talking to the public; it’s mostly just making sure the units are built right and shipped out. There is a small canteen nearby where we grab lunch. Sometimes the power flickers, which is ironic given what we do, but we just get back to it once it’s steady. It’s steady work and it keeps a lot of families around here going. We aren’t trying to be anything we aren't. We just make the electrical stuff that people need for their factories or buildings. The gate at number 16 is always open during the day. It’s a lot of heavy lifting and technical checking, but it is what we know how to do.
