Orient Engineering Works

Setting up Orient Engineering Works here in Srirampore was quite a task, especially being tucked away in Phase ii of Amulyakanan. We are at Flat No. 16/10, which isn’t your typical factory floor, but we make it work for what we do. The space is a bit tight when we have multiple projects going at once, but it keeps everything within arm's reach. Most days involve a lot of measuring and the sound of machines running in the background. We’ve had this spot for a while now, and the walk from Mallickpara is something we’ve grown used to every morning. It’s quiet enough around here that you can actually focus on the details. We mostly handle small-scale engineering jobs that require a bit of patience. Sometimes the metal supplies take a few days to arrive, so we spend that time cleaning the equipment or organizing the workbench. It’s not a big corporate setup with receptionists or polished floors. It’s mostly just us in our overalls, getting grease on our hands and trying to figure out why a part isn't fitting quite right. Neighbors sometimes drop by just to say hello or ask for help with a stuck bolt. We don’t mind. It’s part of being in this community. We keep the tools sharp and the lights on until the work is finished. It’s a steady rhythm that suits us well, and we plan to keep it that way for the foreseeable future.
