Technician

Our small workshop, Technician, is based out in Chickkagollarahatti. It’s a bit of a quiet spot compared to the middle of Bangalore, but that’s okay for the kind of work I do. I’ve lived around here for a long time, so setting up the shop here felt like the right thing to do. The area is growing, and more houses are popping up every month. I spend most of my days inside, surrounded by different electronics and tools that I’ve collected over the years. My workbench is always a bit of a mess, but I know exactly where everything is. People from around the village and the nearby streets usually drop by when something breaks. It’s a practical setup, nothing too fancy to look at from the outside. I don't spend money on big advertisements or anything. Most people just hear about me from their neighbors or friends. The weather gets quite warm in the afternoons, so I usually keep the door open to get some air while I work. I like the routine of opening up in the morning and seeing who stops by. Sometimes it’s just for a chat, and other times it’s someone with a machine that needs looking at. Chickkagollarahatti is a decent place to be based because I can reach most customers without spending hours on the road. It’s a straightforward life here, just doing the work that needs doing and keeping the shop running day by day. It’s not a corporate thing, just a local guy working.
