Sri Shakti Engg Works

Our workshop, Sri Shakti Engg Works, is located at 108/40 on Pillayar Koil Street in Kaduvetti. It is a very grounded kind of place. You can hear the sound of metal being worked on before you even see the sign. We have all kinds of machinery and tools scattered around because that’s the nature of engineering work. The street is usually busy with people going to the local temple or just moving through Kaduvetti. Our floors are usually a bit stained with oil, and there is always some dust in the air, but that’s how a real workshop should be. We don't have an air-conditioned office or soft chairs. We spend most of our time on our feet, dealing with the machines and making sure everything is built right. It gets pretty hot during the summer months, but we just keep the doors wide open. Pillayar Koil Street has a lot of history, and we feel like we’re a part of the local fabric here. People bring us all sorts of metalwork and repair jobs, and we just figure out the best way to handle them with the tools we have. It is just hard work that keeps the lights on. We don't use big words or have complicated processes; we just look at the problem and fix it. Some days are long, but that is part of the job.
