Vyom Gears

Our workshop is tucked away in the Mariyappa Complex over in Peenya 3rd Phase. If you know the 2nd Cross area near Rajagopal Nagar Main Road, you know it’s mostly just trucks and noise all day long. We've been in this spot for a while now, surrounded by other small units making all sorts of metal parts. Inside Vyom Gears, it’s usually quite loud because the machines are always running. There is always a bit of grease on the floor no matter how much we sweep it up at the end of the shift. We mostly deal with local orders, people coming in with sketches or old parts that need replacing. It isn't a high-tech lab or some shiny corporate office. We have a small desk in the corner where the bills and tea cups sit. The fans on the ceiling just move the hot air around during the summer months. Sometimes a machine breaks down and we spend half the day just trying to get it back online ourselves. It’s honest work, getting our hands dirty and making sure the gears come out right for whoever needs them. Most of the guys here have lived in this part of Bangalore for years, so we just walk or take the bus to the main road. We don't have a big sign out front, just the number 16 on the gate. It's a busy life in Peenya.
