Om Machine Tools

Our workshop is over on 10th Pal Road, right near Jain Dadawadi. It’s a simple, practical space that we’ve filled up with all sorts of machines and tools over the years. We spend the bulk of our time working with our hands. The floor usually has a bit of metal shavings and oil on it, but that is just part of the job when you run a machine shop. We make and repair tools for other businesses in the area. People often walk in with a broken part or a rough sketch of something they need us to create. We don't have a sales team or anyone in a suit. Usually, one of us just wipes our hands on a rag and comes over to talk. The building isn't much to look at from the street, but inside it’s all about the lathes and the grinders. We’ve been in this spot for quite some time and we know most of the neighbors. It’s a steady way to live. We don't do any big advertising. If we do the job right, people tend to come back the next time they need something fixed. The lighting in the back isn't great, so we have a few portable lamps we move around. It gets loud when we have everything running at once, but we just focus on getting the measurements exactly right.
