Milan Industries

Milan Industries sits at K-1/77/2 in the Shankar Tekri part of Jamnagar. It is one of many shops in GIDC - 1. If you come by in the morning, you’ll find us rolling up the metal shutters. The light inside is a bit dim until we get the overheads on. There is a lot of metal dust on the workbenches. We do a lot of turning and milling here. It’s the kind of work that makes your back ache by five o'clock. Udyognagar is a tough place but it’s where all the business happens. We have a few old machines that have been with us since the start. They are reliable even if they look a bit worn out. The neighborhood is full of people doing the same thing. You hear the lathes from the shop next door and the grinders from the one across the street. We usually get tea from the same guy every afternoon. He knows how we like it. The workspace is crowded with materials and half-finished jobs. It’s hard to keep it tidy when you’re busy. We don’t worry about that too much. As long as we can find our tools, we’re okay. It’s a practical life. We work hard, we talk a little, and we go home to our families. That is pretty much the whole story for us.
