Anand Engineering Consortium

Working out of B-4 in the Saraswasti Industrial Area in Partapur is exactly what you would expect from an engineering place. Anand Engineering Consortium is basically a functional space filled with tools, metal parts, and the sound of machines. Partapur is an industrial zone, so it is always noisy and dusty outside with trucks moving around and other workshops doing their own thing. Inside our unit, it’s mostly about the technical work. We have workbenches that have seen a lot of use and various pieces of machinery that we keep running. It gets pretty hot in the summer, especially with the machines going, so we have some big fans that move the air around. We aren't here to look pretty; we are here to build and fix things. Most of the guys here have grease on their hands by midday. We take our breaks together and talk about whatever needs to be finished before the day ends. The floor is concrete and there are piles of scrap metal in the back that we clear out every now and then. It is a very practical environment where the focus is on the actual engineering tasks. People come by the industrial area for all sorts of parts, and we are just one of the many units making things happen. It’s a tough, honest environment and we’ve gotten used to the grit of the Partapur area over the years.
