Deepak Shahi Industries

Our place, Deepak Shahi Industries, is tucked away in Pratap Nagar Sewak Pura at 1920/1. It’s a busy neighborhood and we’ve been part of it for a long time. The workshop is always full of different materials and the smell of oil and metal. We started out small and stayed that way because it’s easier to manage things ourselves. Most days involve a lot of checking orders and making sure the machines are running like they should. It’s not a quiet job by any means. There is always someone coming in to ask about a specific part or just to have a quick chat about their own projects. We don't have a big front office with fancy chairs, just a desk where we keep the ledgers and the tea cups. My nephew helps out with the paperwork now and then, but mostly it's just hands-on work. We know the neighbors well and we all kind of look out for each other on this street. It can get a bit crowded when the delivery trucks show up, but we make it work. Every day brings something a bit different depending on what people are looking for. We just focus on getting through the list of things to do before the sun goes down. It's a simple life here in Sewak Pura and we're used to the pace of it.
