Hardic Engineering

The Hardic Engineering workshop is at C-1/77/1 in the G.I.D.C. Estate in Odhav. It’s right on Ambicanagar Road. If you know the industrial estate at all, it’s not too hard to find us. It’s a noisy area with all the other factories around, but that’s just how it is in Odhav. We’ve been working here for quite some time now. The floor is usually covered in metal scraps and oil, but we try to keep it as tidy as a machine shop can be. We do a lot of engineering work, mostly fixing parts or making new ones for local machines. It’s a small group of us here. We don’t have any fancy secretaries or big meeting rooms. We usually just talk over the sound of the lathes or the grinding. The summer heat in the shed can be pretty intense, but we have a few fans that help a bit. Most of the people around here are doing the same kind of work, so we all know each other well. We take pride in just getting the job done without much fuss. If something needs fixing, we look at it and figure it out. We don’t use any complicated jargon. It’s just straightforward mechanical work. Sometimes we stay late to finish a rush job for a neighbor, but that’s part of the trade. Anyway, we are usually here from dawn until late evening, six days a week.
