J. P. Engineers & Designers

You can find us at 41B, Annaiyappan Street. We're part of that M. E. C. Nagar area off Nallampalayam Road here in Ganapathy. It’s a quiet enough street most days, which is good because designing stuff takes a bit of concentration. We started J. P. Engineers & Designers because we liked the idea of making plans and seeing them turn into real things. Our office is filled with old drawings, a couple of computers that have seen better days, and plenty of coffee mugs. It’s not the most modern looking place, but it’s where we do our best thinking. Sometimes we get stuck on a design for hours, scratching our heads over a measurement that won't line up. We aren't the type to wear suits or give big presentations. We’d rather just sit down with a pencil and work it out. The neighborhood has a lot of small businesses like ours, so we usually see the same faces every morning. We handle all sorts of engineering tasks, some small and some that take up the whole desk. It’s practical work. We’ve had to learn a lot as we go, making mistakes and fixing them along the way. That’s how you learn the trade, really. If you walk past, you’ll likely see the lights on late because we tend to lose track of time when a project gets interesting. It's just a small team of us working through the designs.
