Sri Kumaran Engineering Works

If you go to the Iec Bus Stop in Maniayakarampalayam, Ganapathy, you will find our shop at 4/57. It is a handy location because everyone knows where the bus stop is. We spend our days working on various engineering tasks, mostly involving a lot of welding and cutting. The air in the shop usually smells like burnt metal and old grease, which is something we stopped noticing years ago. It’s a modest building, and we have squeezed in as much equipment as we possibly can. When the buses pull up outside, you can hear the brakes hissing and the passengers getting off, which gives us a bit of a connection to the world outside our metal walls. We aren't some big, polished company with a front desk; we are just guys in work shirts trying to get things finished. Sometimes we have to work late when a job is particularly difficult, and the only light comes from the sparks of the machines and a few overhead bulbs. We don't have any interest in sounding like a big corporation because that just isn't who we are. We've been in Ganapathy for a while now, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change, but our shop stays pretty much the same. We just keep our tools sharp and our focus on the work sitting right in front of us. It's a steady way to spend the day for us and our small crew.
