Akon Elevators

Our office is at L 48/4 in Balaji Nagar. It’s not really a place where customers come to sit down. Most of the time, we are out at different buildings. We handle elevators, which is a lot more complicated than it looks. Most people don't think about the lift until it stops working. Then they are very upset because they have to walk up six floors. We spend our days covered in grease and looking at control panels. It’s a small operation. There’s me and a couple of technicians. We have an old van where we keep our tools and ladders. Balaji Nagar is a busy area, so getting through traffic to an emergency call can be a real headache. We don't do the big elevators in the skyscrapers. We mostly look after the ones in smaller apartment blocks and offices. It’s a lot of maintenance work. We check the cables and the motors to make sure everything is safe. It’s not a glamorous job. You spend a lot of time in dark elevator shafts or on top of the cars. We just do the work and try to keep things running. We don't have any fancy brochures. People usually just find our number on the sticker inside the lift when things go wrong.
