Standard Motor Company

You can find Standard Motor Company at B-Xv 171 on the GT Road. We are in the Miller Ganj area, right opposite where Manju Cinema used to be a big landmark for everyone around here. This part of Ludhiana is always humming with the sound of traffic and machinery. GT Road is never really quiet, even late at night when the long-haul trucks go by. Our building is one of the older ones in the row. It has high ceilings and a lot of history in the walls. We keep a lot of motor parts and heavy components on the shelves. Everything has a thin layer of oil or dust on it, which is just part of the job in this industry. We spend a lot of our time checking inventory or talking to mechanics who come in looking for specific pieces. It’s not a clean, white-glove kind of office. There are greasy fingerprints on the door frames and the floor is worn down from years of heavy boxes being dragged across it. We have a small kettle in the back for making tea when it gets cold in the winter. Miller Ganj is a tough, hardworking neighborhood, and we fit right in. We don't use any fancy computer systems for everything; a lot of it is still written down in big registers. It's how we’ve always done it. It’s a busy, cramped, and noisy place, but it’s where we do our work.
