Kirloskar

We are located at 1419/12 on 10th Main, over in Vijayanagar. This Kirloskar branch has been part of the Bangalore landscape for a while. The 5th Cross intersection is usually jammed with scooters and cars, so getting in and out can be a bit of a challenge sometimes. Inside, it’s mostly shelves filled with parts and heavy equipment. The air smells a bit like metal and engine oil, which is something you just get used to after a week of working here. I spend a lot of my time looking up part numbers or helping people find exactly what they need for their machinery. We don't have any fancy displays or lounge chairs for customers. There’s just a counter and a couple of stools that have seen better days. The phone rings a lot, usually with someone on the other end who is in a bit of a hurry. Bangalore weather is nice, but when it rains, the water tends to pool up right in front of our main entrance. We have to use a broom to push it away so people don't get their feet soaked. It’s a straightforward operation. We don’t do a lot of talking unless it’s about the equipment. My boss has been in this trade for decades, and he still uses a paper calendar to keep track of everything. It's just a regular workplace where we deal with what comes.
