Gandhi Enterprises

We’re Gandhi Enterprises, and you can find us at E-92 in the M.I.A. area, specifically the second phase in Basani. Being in an industrial area means it’s pretty loud and dusty most of the time. There are trucks coming and going all day long. Our unit is just a standard industrial shed. Inside, we’ve got our machinery and a small corner for the office work. It’s not the kind of place you’d come for a fancy meeting. We’re usually covered in a bit of grease or dust by noon. We’ve been operating out of Basani for quite some time now. We know most of the other shop owners on this block. We help each other out when a machine breaks down or when we need a specific tool. It’s a hardworking environment. We don’t really do much advertising. People find us because they need what we make or fix. My father started this, and now I’m running it with a couple of guys who’ve been here since the start. We have tea together every afternoon at 4. It’s a ritual. The work is tough and the hours are long, especially when we have a big order to get out. The M.I.A. can be a bit grim when it rains because the roads get muddy. But we stay busy regardless. We don’t have a mission statement or anything like that. We just try to do the work right so the customers don’t complain or get frustrated.
