Sri Maruthi Engineering Works

Our shop is at 112 on the 2nd Main Road in Rajajinagar. Sri Maruthi Engineering Works is what the sign says, though most people just know us as the place with the lathes. It’s a gritty kind of job, working with heavy parts and grease. We spend a lot of time bent over machines, making sure parts fit like they should. It gets loud in here when all the equipment is running at once. We’ve been in this spot for a long time, and the floor shows it. There are stains and marks everywhere, but that's what happens in engineering. Sometimes a client brings in a part that’s completely worn out, and we have to see if we can save it. It’s a lot of trial and error some days. We don't wear suits or sit in air-conditioned offices. Most of the time, we’re covered in oil and metal shavings. The 2nd Main Road can get pretty crowded with traffic, especially in the evenings. We usually keep the shutters halfway down when we’re finishing up a big project late at night. It’s just a few of us here. We know the machines better than we know our own cars. It’s a practical way to earn a living. We don't make a big fuss about what we do. There's an old radio in the corner that we keep on for some background noise. It helps the day go by a bit faster. We aren't looking to expand; we're happy right here.
