Abhishek Machine Tools

Finding us in Nakab Khan Compound can be a bit of a trick if it’s your first time visiting Abhishek Machine Tools. We’re tucked away near Memon State in Goregaon West. The compound is always full of noise from other workshops and the smell of cut metal. Our place, Ganesh Niwas, is where we keep all the heavy stuff. It isn’t the cleanest environment, but that’s the nature of working with machine tools. There’s always some oil on the floor or a bit of metal shavings stuck in the broom. We’ve had the same workbench for years and it’s seen a lot of use. My brother and I usually handle the daily tasks. We don't have a big HR department or a marketing team. If you call, one of us will probably answer the phone while trying to move a crate. It’s a bit chaotic during the monsoon because the roof leaks in one corner, so we have to move the inventory around to keep it dry. We spend most of our time looking at blueprints or checking the calibration on something. It’s quiet work in a loud neighborhood. We don't put on any acts here. If we have it, we tell you. If we don’t, we tell you where else to look. It’s just how we’ve always run things in this part of Mumbai. We hope the coffee is ready when you get here.
