Nexus Eps

Our shop, Nexus Eps, is at Survey No. 451 in Shakthipuram, over in the Prasanthi Nagar Industrial Estate in Kukatpally. It’s a busy part of the city, and getting here through the traffic can be a bit of a challenge some days. Once you’re inside, though, it’s just a regular warehouse. We work with expanded polystyrene, which most people just call foam. It’s light stuff, but it takes up a lot of space, so the warehouse always looks fuller than it actually is. We spend our time cutting shapes and packing blocks. It’s a clean kind of work, though the little foam beads get everywhere. We’ve given up on trying to sweep them all up until the end of the week. The staff here is a mix of young guys and some older folks who have been in the estate for decades. We share stories and tea during the breaks. We don't have a big corporate mission. We just try to make the foam pieces the right size so they fit in the boxes. It’s practical work. The neighbors in Prasanthi Nagar are mostly other small workshops, so we all know each other. If someone needs a hand moving something heavy, we help out. It’s a good community to be part of. We keep the lights on and the saws running from Monday to Saturday. It's just what we do here.
