Kristna Engineering Works, Vjayawada

We are based out in Peda Avutapalli, in the Ashoknagar area. It’s part of the Unguturu mandal in Krishna district. We’ve been here for a long time. The setup is quite basic, just a workshop and a small office space. We deal with engineering work, so it gets a bit dusty and loud sometimes. We don't mind. It’s the sound of work being done. We aren't a big corporation with branches all over the world. We are just here in Andhra Pradesh. Most of us are local guys. We know how to fix things and how to build things. We don’t have a marketing guy to write fancy brochures for us. We just let the work speak for itself. If something isn't right, we fix it. It's as simple as that. The office part is just a desk with a lot of papers and some old ledgers. We don’t use much technology beyond what is absolutely necessary. It’s a practical way of living. We see the same faces every day and we like it that way. There’s no need for complicated systems when you can just talk to the person next to you. We just keep our heads down and focus on the day’s tasks. It’s a quiet life in a way, despite the machines. We just do what we do. No big plans for expansion, just keeping the shop running well.
