Hitesh Eng. Co.

If you find yourself in Chitra GIDC, you might stumble across Hitesh Eng. Co. over at Plot No. 321/2. We are an engineering shop, which basically means we spend our days covered in oil and metal shavings. The shop is full of lathes and drills that have seen better days but still run perfectly fine. We don't have a fancy showroom or a secretary to answer the phones. Usually, one of us hears the bell and wipes their hands on a rag before seeing who it is. Chitra is a good place to work because everyone is doing something similar. If we need a specific tool, the neighbor probably has it. We do a lot of small repairs and custom parts for people who can't find them anywhere else. It is a lot of measuring and double-checking. Sometimes we make a mistake and have to start over, but that is just part of the learning. We keep the doors open for the breeze, though it doesn't help much when the sun is hitting the roof. We’ve been at this plot for a good stretch of time. The sign outside is a bit faded but it still says the name clearly enough. It’s a practical place for practical work. No one here is trying to impress anyone with big words. We just get the engineering done. Our benches are cluttered, but we know where everything is kept.
