Anup Lahiri Eng.

Our place is over at Number 2 on Bidhan Road, right in the Rath Kola area. It’s not a very big operation, just Anup and a few of us handling the engineering side of things. Most of the time, the tables are covered in papers and old parts that someone brought in to get measured. We’ve been in this building for a long while now. It’s got that old smell of oil and metal that never really goes away. Rath Kola is a good spot to be, even if the road gets crowded during the festival times. We do a lot of small-scale fabrication and some design work when people have an idea but don't know how to build it. It’s a lot of trial and error sometimes. We don't have a big marketing team or a website that looks professional. Most of our work comes from people just dropping by because they know we’ve been here forever. Sometimes the electricity acts up and we have to wait a bit to get back to the welding. It's just a regular workspace where we try to solve mechanical problems without making a big fuss about it. We keep our tools organized, or we try to, but when things get busy, it’s a bit of a scramble. It's just honest work that keeps us coming back every morning. We usually close up when the sun goes down and head home.
