Sureshkumar Kantilal Patel

I run things here at Plot No. 274 in Phase-1 of the Gidc. My name is Sureshkumar Kantilal Patel, and this is where I’ve spent most of my working life. It’s a straightforward operation. We don’t have a big corporate structure or layers of management. If there is a problem, I am the one who handles it. We deal with various industrial tasks depending on what the current demand is. The workshop at Plot 274 is well-used and a bit cluttered, but I know where every single tool is located. Phase-1 of Gidc is one of the older parts of the estate, so the roads are a bit rough, but it has a good community of business owners. We all know each other and sometimes help out when someone’s power goes out or they need a specific part. I have a few workers who have stayed with me for a long time. We aren't trying to change the world here. We just want to do a decent job so that people keep coming back. I spend a lot of time on the phone talking to suppliers or checking on orders. It’s a lot of work to keep everything running, but I prefer being my own boss. There is no fancy mission here, just daily tasks and making sure the bills are paid. It's a simple, honest way to live.
