Banerjee Engineering Works

We are over at 43 Dharma Das Kundu Lane in Shibpur. It’s one of those narrow lanes where everyone knows each other’s business. We’ve been doing engineering work here for a long time, and the shop has seen better days, but it serves us well. We don’t have a big fancy office with air conditioning. Most of the time, we’re out on the floor working with the machines. It’s noisy and dusty, but that’s just part of the job. We handle a lot of repairs and custom jobs for people around the district. Sometimes someone will bring in a piece of a machine that hasn't been made in thirty years, and we have to figure out how to recreate it. It’s a lot of measuring and cutting and then measuring again. We don't really have a big staff, just a few local guys who know their way around a lathe. We started this place because we liked fixing things, and we’ve just kept going. The lane gets a bit crowded with bikes and people, so parking can be a bit of a headache if you’re visiting. We usually have the radio playing in the background while we work. We aren't looking to become a giant corporation; we just want to keep the machines running and help out the people who come to us with their problems. It’s simple work but it’s what we know.
