Prabha Engineering

Sarojini Naidu Street is where we sit. It’s a busy spot in New Siddhapudur and we have been here for a while now doing engineering work. Most days it’s just us handling whatever comes through the door. The machines are old but they still work fine. Sometimes the tea stall down the road is the highlight of the afternoon for the crew. People come in asking for specific parts or repairs. It’s not fancy. My dad started things years ago or maybe it was just a small setup that grew over time. We have a few guys working the lathes and the grease gets everywhere on the floor. It’s just part of the job I guess. New Siddhapudur has changed a lot since we first opened. There is way more traffic now. We try to keep the noise down for the neighbors but it’s an engineering shop, you know? There isn't much to say other than we show up every morning and get to it. Sometimes we’re really busy and other times it’s slow. We don’t have a big office or anything. Just the workshop floor and a small desk where the paperwork piles up. If you walk past 108, you'll see our sign. It’s nothing special to look at but it’s home for us during the week. We mostly just focus on getting the measurements right for the customers. If the metal is cut wrong, the whole day is basically wasted. So we pay attention.
