Rajaram Engineering Corporation

If you walk down 151, 4th main in Chamrajpet, you'll find us pretty easily. Rajaram Engineering Corporation has been part of this neighborhood for a good while. Chamrajpet has that old Bangalore feel to it, with the big trees and the narrower streets that aren't as chaotic as the newer parts of town. Our workspace is filled with the kind of stuff you'd expect in an engineering firm—tools, parts, and a bit of grease here and there. It’s not the kind of place where you need to wear a tie. We’re usually busy with some kind of mechanical project or fixing something that stopped working. The building itself is older, and it has that specific smell of metal and machine oil that you just get used to after the first week. We don't spend much time on fancy decorations; the walls are mostly covered with calendars and old notes. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to wait a bit, but that gives us a chance to sit outside and chat for a minute. Most of the people around here know us, and we know the shops on the corner. It’s a quiet way to work, focusing on the technical details and making sure the machines are doing what they’re supposed to do. We like the pace of this area. It feels more grounded than the high-tech hubs on the other side of the city. We just do our work and head home when the day is done.
