Prema Engineering Works

You’ll find Prema Engineering Works over in Peenya at number 261. Anyone who knows this part of the city knows it's the heart of the small-scale industry in Bangalore. We’ve been set up here for a while now, doing general engineering jobs for various clients. It’s a small shop, mostly filled with lathes and manual drills. The floor is usually covered in metal shavings and oil, which is pretty standard for an engineering place like ours. We don't have a receptionist or a big sign out front to attract people. Most days, it's just the sound of metal being turned and the radio playing softly in the corner. We take in various types of repair work or small batch production. It’s not the kind of place where you’ll find people wearing suits or ties. We wear our work clothes and get our hands greasy every single day. Sometimes a job takes longer than we thought because the old machines act up, but we figure it out eventually with some patience. Peenya can get really crowded with all the tempos and heavy trucks, so getting materials delivered is always a bit of a gamble on time. We don't do much talking; we just get the drawings and start working on the parts. It’s a simple life. We close up in the evening and head home like everyone else in the industrial estate. There isn't a lot of mystery to what we do here.
