Frank Technology

Down in Kavundampalayam, specifically at 13 Railway Men'S Colony, is where Frank Technology operates. It’s a quiet enough area, which is good for the kind of work we do. We deal with various technical parts and repairs. It isn't a flashy setup. We’ve got benches covered in tools and wires everywhere. My brother and I started this after we left our old jobs. We wanted to be our own bosses, even if it meant working longer hours. Most days involve a lot of troubleshooting. Sometimes a customer brings in something that’s completely broken, and we have to spend hours just staring at it to figure out the problem. We don't have a marketing team or anyone to write fancy slogans. We just talk to the people who walk through the door. The colony is a good place to be. You get to know the neighbors. Sometimes we have to work late into the night when a project is due. The lighting in the shop isn't great, but we know where everything is. It’s a bit cramped because we keep a lot of spare parts just in case. We don’t have a website that looks professional, but our phone is always ringing. We just try to get the tech working again so people can go about their day. It’s simple, messy work, but it’s what we know how to do.
