Maruthi Hi Teck Engineers

People often ask how we ended up here in Kumara Park West, tucked away in 4th Block. It’s a busy little area, but our shop is where we get the real work done. We’ve got some heavy machines running most of the day, so there’s always a bit of a hum in the air. If you walk past No- 20 on 4th Cross, you’ll probably hear us before you see us. Most of the time, the floor is covered in metal shavings and the smell of oil is pretty thick. We do not spend much time on fancy decorations or anything like that. The workbench is cluttered with tools that have been around as long as we have. We spend our hours looking at drawings and trying to get pieces of metal to do what they’re supposed to do. Sometimes a job is easy and takes an hour, other times we’re scratching our heads until the sun goes down. We usually have a tea break around four, standing out on the street just to get some fresh air for a few minutes. It isn't a glamorous job, and my hands are usually stained with grease that doesn't quite wash off by the time I get home at night. But there is something about seeing a finished part sitting on the table after a long day of work. We just keep our heads down and keep the machines moving because there is always another order waiting.
