About Prabhakar Metal Works – Metals & Minerals in Bengaluru
If you walk down the 5th Main in GIDC, you’ll hear us before you see us. Prabhakar Metal Works has been in Gayathri Nagar Phase L for a while now. The shop is always full of iron shavings and the smell of welding. It’s a messy place, but that’s how metal work goes. We have these old machines that have been running since I was a kid. Sometimes they break down and we spend half the day fixing them with grease all over our arms. It’s not a clean job at all. The floor is concrete and always has some scrap lying around that you have to watch out for. We mostly handle small orders for the neighbors or parts for the bigger factories nearby. There’s no air conditioning here, just the big shutters we keep open to let the heat out. 41306 is just a number on a door, but for us, it’s where we spend ten hours a day. We don't have a receptionist or anything fancy. If you come in, you just shout over the noise of the grinders until someone hears you. Usually, it’s me or my brother. We drink a lot of water because of the heat from the torches. It’s hard work and our backs ache by five o’clock, but it keeps the lights on. We just do what we know how to do, day after day.
