Swathi Engineering Works

We have been running Swathi Engineering Works for quite a long time now. You can find us at Malleshwaram 1st Cross, right there in Srinivasa Colony at 339/36. It is a small shop, and it gets pretty loud when the lathes are spinning. Most of the day, we are covered in grease and metal dust. It is just the way things are here. My father started this place, and not much has changed since then. We have some old machines that still work better than the new ones you see today. People from around the neighborhood bring in their broken parts, and we see if we can fix them. Sometimes it takes a few hours, other times it takes a week if we have to wait for materials to arrive. The Bengaluru traffic makes getting supplies a real chore, so we usually just keep a stash of common rods and plates. We don’t have a website or anything like that. If you need us, you just walk into the shop and yell over the noise. We keep a few stools for people to sit on while they wait. The floor is never really clean, no matter how much we sweep. It is a practical place. We focus on the work at hand and don't spend much time on fancy talk. We close up around seven in the evening, unless there is a rush. It is just honest labor in a busy corner of the city.
