Satnam Engg. Works

Satnam Engg. Works is tucked away behind the Central Bank of India in the N.I.T. area. Our specific address is 1C- 1/24, D.T.I., which can be a little hard to find if you aren't familiar with the back lanes here. We have a small workshop where we do mostly manual engineering and repair jobs. It’s a family-run kind of setup. There’s usually some welding going on or the sound of a lathe running in the background. We have a lot of old tools that have been around since the beginning. My brother and I handle most of the daily tasks along with a couple of helpers. People bring us things that are broken or need a specific fit, and we figure out how to fix it. It isn't always pretty work, but it works. The shop is a bit cramped because we keep all our scraps and materials in the corners. We don’t have a fancy reception area; you just walk right into the middle of the work floor. Sometimes the rain leaks in a little near the back door, but we put a bucket down and keep going. We’ve been in N.I.T. for a long time and have seen shops come and go. We just stay here and do the machining. It's a simple life. We close up around seven most nights and head back to our families. It’s been this way for decades, and we don't expect it to change much.
