Joes Engg

Our place is Joes Engg, located at P No -917 A in Phase 2 of the Industrial Area in Chandigarh. This part of town is all about manufacturing and shops. It’s a grid of warehouses and workshops, and we fit right in. Our unit is a straightforward metal building with a big rolling door. We keep the machines running most of the day. It gets pretty loud inside, so we usually have to shout a bit to be heard. The floor is concrete and has some oil stains, which is normal for an engineering shop. We have a small wooden desk near the front where we keep the logbooks and the phone. It’s not air-conditioned, so we rely on the big fans and the open door to keep it cool in the summer. Chandigarh winters are a different story, and we usually have to bundle up while we work. The guys here have been working together for a long time. We know our routine and we stick to it. There’s no fancy lobby or coffee machine. We just have a kettle and some mugs in the back. It’s a blue-collar spot where we get our hands dirty every single day. We like the Industrial Area because everything we need, from raw materials to spare parts, is just a few blocks away. It is a practical location for a business like ours and we don't plan on moving.
