Gurukrupa Welding Works

Gurukrupa Welding Works is right on the Baroda Bhavnagar Highway. It is easy to spot us because of the sparks flying and the sound of metal hitting metal. We don't have a fancy building or a sign with lights. It is just a sturdy shop where we do welding and repairs. Most of our work comes from the trucks and farm equipment that go up and down the highway. When something breaks on the road, they pull in here. It’s hot, sweaty work, especially when the sun is beating down on the asphalt outside. We use old masks and heavy gloves that have seen better days. I’ve been welding since I was a teenager, and my hands show it. We don't have a secretary or anyone to answer the phones; if it rings, one of us just wipes our hands on a rag and picks it up. We do gates, frames, and whatever else people need fixed. The highway is always loud, so we’ve learned to talk over the sound of the engines. We don't promise anything fancy, just that the weld will hold. Most days we are covered in soot by the time we close up. It’s just how it is. We like being out here where the action is on the Baroda Bhavnagar road. Sometimes we help out neighbors with small things because we have the tools right here anyway.
