Abhijeet Gharge Engineers & Contractors

Our office is Shop No.2 in Pratap Colony, which is right near the Degaon Phata in the Midc area. It’s a practical location for what we do because it puts us close to a lot of the industrial activity. The shop isn’t very big, so it’s usually quite crowded with equipment, site helmets, and rolls of drawings. We spend a lot of our time out in the field, so the office is more like a home base where we come back to sort out the paperwork and plan the next day. It’s a bit dusty, especially when the wind picks up from the main road, but we don’t mind. We have a small desk for the accounts and a couple of chairs for visitors, though they usually end up sitting on whatever is available. There’s no fancy air conditioning here, just a sturdy fan that hums all day. We’ve worked on a lot of different sites around here, and people in the colony know us well. We’re not a big corporate firm with a board of directors; it’s just Abhijeet and the rest of the crew trying to keep things moving. We drink a lot of tea and spend a lot of time on our phones talking to suppliers and workers. It’s a tough job sometimes, but we like being part of the building process in our local area. We stay busy with various contracts and try to keep things moving forward with our daily work.
