Sadguru Engineering Works

Sadguru Engineering Works is situated right on the Chakan Talegao Road. If you know Chakan, you know it’s a hub for all sorts of manufacturing and we are at Plot No 200/1. It’s a dusty road and there is always a lot of traffic, mostly big lorries and tractors. We do a lot of small-scale engineering work here. Our shop isn't very large, but we have the machines we need to get through the day. Most of the time, we are busy with repairs or making parts for people who live and work nearby. It’s greasy work and our hands are usually covered in oil by the time lunch rolls around. We don’t really have a front desk or anyone to answer phones all the time. Usually, you just walk in and talk to whoever isn't busy at a machine. We like the work because it’s practical. You take a piece of metal and you turn it into something useful for a machine. Sometimes things break and we have to figure out how to fix them on the fly. Chakan has grown a lot over the years, but we just stay here at our plot and keep doing what we know. It is loud and hot in the summer, especially with the metal roof overhead, but that’s just part of the job. We don’t go in for anything fancy. We just focus on the tasks at hand and try to make sure everything leaves the shop in good shape.
