Akash Engg Services

Our workshop is based out in the village of Sarole Khurd, which is under the Vanasgaon post in Niphad. Being in the Nasik district, it is a very different environment compared to the city shops. Our workspace is more like a large shed or a garage where we keep all the heavy engineering equipment. The floor is made of hard concrete and it has gathered quite a few oil stains and scratches over the years. It can get very dusty inside, especially when the wind blows in from the surrounding fields. We have various machines for cutting and welding, and we keep our hand tools on large racks along the walls so we can find them. The air usually smells a bit like burnt metal and machine oil. We start our work very early in the morning when it is still cool outside. Most of the jobs we get are from the local people or small businesses in the Niphad area who need something repaired or a specific part fabricated. We don't have a fancy reception area or anything like that. There is just a small wooden table in the corner where we keep our notebook for orders and a few chairs for visitors to sit. It is a lot of hard, physical work and we often end the day with grease on our hands. The pace of life here is a bit slower, but there is always some engineering task that needs our attention.
