Swathi Sundar Raj Industries

Out here at D 39/1 in the Kadugondanahalli Industrial Estate, the air is usually full of the sound of metal and work. Swathi Sundar Raj Industries is part of that landscape. We are located on the 4th Main Road in Rajaji Nagar, which is a place where things actually get built. The industrial estate is a bit gritty, but that’s because there’s real work happening. Our space is filled with equipment and the smell of grease and raw materials. It’s not the kind of place where you wear a suit. We’re usually in work clothes, dealing with whatever job is on the floor that day. The trucks come in and out through the Rajaji Nagar gates all day long. Sometimes the roads get blocked with lorries, but everyone just waits it out. We’ve been in this shed for a long time. It’s hot in the summers under the roof, but the fans keep things moving. We don't spend money on fancy decorations. Every bit of space is used for the machines or for storing the finished parts. It’s a hands-on life. We know our neighbors by the sound of their machines. If you need to find us, just look for the 4th Main Road sign and keep going until you see D 39/1. It’s a busy spot in a hard-working part of the city, and we just keep our heads down and work.
