Toolelement Engineering

Down here at 48 on the 7th Main in the JC Industrial Area, things are usually moving fast. Yelachenahalli is one of those places in Bangalore where you can always hear the sound of machinery or someone loading a truck nearby. Our shop at Toolelement Engineering isn't a showroom; it’s a place where we actually get our hands dirty. We have been in this part of Karnataka for a while now, and we’ve seen the area change quite a bit over the years. The traffic on the way in can be a headache, but once you get inside the industrial area, you just focus on the task at hand. We spend a lot of time looking at drawings and making sure the engineering parts are coming out right. It’s a lot of metal, oil, and the smell of cooling fluid. There’s no big corporate office upstairs, just us working on the floor and making sure the tools are doing what they should. Sometimes the power goes out or a machine acts up, and we just have to figure it out ourselves. We take our lunch breaks together when we can, usually talking about things other than work. It is a simple life here in Bangalore, just doing the engineering work that needs to be done. We don't have any big speeches to give about what we do. We just open up the shutters every morning and get to it.
