Smart Engineering

You can find us over at No. 34 on Dbc Road in the Darjeeling district. We have been running this engineering shop for a good number of years now. It is mostly a place for repairs and making custom parts when something breaks down on a farm or a construction site nearby. The weather in Darjeeling can get pretty damp, which means we have to spend a lot of time making sure the machines don't get rusty. Our shop isn't very big, but we have managed to squeeze in all the necessary lathes, drills, and welding equipment we need. It’s usually just a couple of us working here, so if we are in the middle of a big job, the place gets quite noisy and messy. We don't have a dedicated receptionist or a fancy waiting area for customers. Most people just walk right into the workshop and show us what needs fixing. We take a look, tell them if it can be done, and then get to work. It is practical, hands-on stuff. Sometimes we are here late into the night if a local business has a machine down and they need it back by morning. We’ve been at this same spot on Dbc Road for so long that we have become a bit of a landmark. We don't bother with expensive advertising because our work speaks for itself among the locals. It is a steady way to live and we like the challenge of fixing things.
