Sri Venkatesa Engineers

We are tucked away in Chettiyar Thottam, just off Madukkarai Road. The workshop at Sri Venkatesa Engineers isn't much to look at from the outside, but it’s where we spend most of our daylight hours. Most days it’s just the sound of the machines and the occasional truck pulling into the Industrial Estate here in Sidco. We’ve been at this spot, Site No.01, for a while now. It gets pretty hot under the roof in the afternoons, but we just keep the fans going and get through the work. There’s always some part that needs fixing or a new project that takes up more space than we expected. It’s a bit of a mess sometimes with metal scraps and tools lying around, but we know where everything is. People come by looking for No. 16/1-D and usually find us by the noise. It’s not fancy work, just solid engineering. We don’t spend much time on the computer unless we have to. Most of the time we are out on the floor, getting our hands dirty and making sure things are built right. The neighbors in the estate are mostly doing the same thing, so it’s a busy atmosphere. Sometimes we stop for tea when the delivery guy comes around. It’s just how we run things here. No big corporate meetings, just us working through the list of what needs to be done before the sun goes down.
