Narsingh Engineering Company

If you walk down towards Gola Mahal in Sadar Bazar, you’ll find us at number 71. Narsingh Engineering Company has been in Barrackpore for a long time now. This building has seen a lot of history. The stairs creak a bit and the windows are the old kind that rattle when a truck goes by. We do engineering work, mostly involving parts and repairs that people need for their local businesses. It is a lot of measuring and cutting and making sure things fit right. There is no magic to it, just hard work and using your head. The shop floor is always covered in a bit of metal shavings no matter how much we sweep. We have a few old machines that still run better than the new ones we bought last year. The guys here have been working together for ages. We know each other's habits. Sometimes we argue about the best way to finish a job but it always gets done in the end. Being in the heart of the bazaar means it is always noisy outside. You hear the vendors and the bikes all day long. We don't mind it. It makes us feel like we are part of the action. We aren't a corporate office with suits. We wear work clothes and get grease on our shirts. That’s the reality of engineering in a place like this. We just keep at it day after day. It is a decent living for us and we enjoy the work.
