Montreal Engineering Company

Our place is on the first floor of the Sarojamma Building, number 1314. We’re over on 5th Main in Prakashnagar. If you’re in this part of Bangalore, you know it’s a mix of homes and small shops. We do engineering work here. It’s mostly sitting at desks, looking at blueprints, and making calculations. It’s not as exciting as some people think, but we enjoy the challenge of getting the math right. The office isn't anything special to look at. We’ve got some old chairs and the light flickers occasionally in the hallway, but it’s our space. We’ve been here for years, and we’ve seen the shops on the ground floor change hands many times. We stay the same, though. Just a few engineers and some support staff trying to finish the next design. The traffic on 5th Main can get pretty loud, especially in the evenings when everyone is heading home, but we just shut the windows and keep working. We don't do fancy presentations or use corporate jargon to sound important. We just talk like normal people about how to build things. Sometimes we go out for lunch together at the local mess nearby. It’s a simple routine. We focus on the projects we have on our plates and try to get them done without too much fuss. It’s a steady way to make a living in the city and we’ve got a good rhythm going here. We like the neighborhood vibe and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
