Adarsh Engg

We’ve been over here at Chheda Compound in Santacruz East for a good while now. It's tucked away in Shivaji Nagar. Running Adarsh Engg is basically what we do every day from morning to night. It’s a busy spot. You’ll find grease, tools, and metal parts all over the place because work never really stops when things need fixing or making. People around the neighborhood know where we are. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning. It's just a practical workshop where we get our hands dirty. Sometimes the noise from the street gets inside, but that's just part of being in this part of Mumbai. We mostly deal with engineering stuff, machining, and whatever local clients bring through the door. It’s not a big corporate setup. It is just a few of us working hard. We try to keep things simple. If something needs doing, we just do it. The shop floor isn't always tidy, but that's because there's always a project going on. We know the regulars by name. Living and working in Santacruz East means you get used to the crowds and the tight spaces. Adarsh Engg has stayed right here because it works for us. We don't spend money on big signs or ads. Word of mouth usually brings folks in. It’s an honest way to make a living. We’ve seen the area change, but our little corner in Shivaji Nagar stays pretty much the same and we like it that way.
