Omkar Lights & Sounds

At Omkar Lights & Sounds, we are located in Jalahalli, right near Swaminarayan College at number 5. Our space is mostly a storage area for all the gear we use for events. We have huge speakers, stacks of amplifiers, and miles of black cables that always seem to get knotted up no matter how carefully we coil them. Most of our work happens on weekends or late at night when there is a party or a function somewhere. We spend a lot of time loading and unloading the truck, which is really heavy work. When we are actually at the shop, we are usually testing the lights or trying to fix a speaker that started buzzing at the last show. It’s not a quiet job. We are often checking the sound levels which probably annoys the neighbors a bit. Being near the college means we see a lot of students walking by, and sometimes they come in asking for help with a small project. We don't have a fancy office with a secretary. It’s just a garage-style setup where we keep our equipment. Some days are very slow, and we just sit around cleaning the gear, and then suddenly we have three jobs at once and nobody gets any sleep. It’s a bit chaotic, but we have been doing it this way for a long time. It isn't easy work, but it keeps us going.
