Makwana Eng. Works

If you head over to Chitra Gidc and look for Plot No. 160, you’ll find us. Makwana Eng. Works is a straightforward engineering shop. We don’t have an office with air conditioning or a glass front. Instead, we have high ceilings, some big industrial fans, and a lot of metal. The sound of grinding and welding is pretty much the soundtrack to our days. It’s a noisy environment, but you get used to it after the first week. We’ve been at Plot No. 160 long enough to know the guys in the shops on either side of us. Sometimes we borrow a tool, sometimes they borrow one from us. That’s how things work in Chitra Gidc. We focus on getting the measurements right and making sure the pieces fit together like they should. Our hands are usually covered in grease or metal shavings by noon. We take our breaks sitting on whatever crates are handy. It’s a practical life, and we don’t spend much time worrying about the latest business trends. We just look at the drawings and get to work. The shop can get pretty cluttered when we have a big order, but we know where everything is. It’s a small team, and we all know our jobs. There isn't any management hierarchy to navigate, just the work sitting there waiting to be finished. We take it one piece at a time and try to keep things moving as smoothly as possible.
