Mumbai Engineering Works

Bhandup West is a loud place, especially here in the Sardar Pratap Singh Industrial Estate. We are in unit number 19, right on L.B.S. Marg. At Mumbai Engineering Works, there is always the sound of metal hitting metal. It’s dusty work, and our hands are usually covered in grease by ten in the morning. We do engineering stuff, mostly fixing things or making parts that people need for their machines. The estate is always busy with trucks trying to squeeze through the narrow lanes. We’ve been in this spot for a long time. The walls have seen a lot of projects come and go. It’s not a clean, white-collar environment. We have heavy tools lying around and blueprints taped to the walls. Sometimes it gets really hot in the summer, but we just keep the fans going and get on with the job. Our neighbors are other workshops, so we all know each other. If someone needs a specific wrench, they just walk over. We don't have a big reception area or a receptionist. Usually, someone just yells from the back if a visitor walks in. We focus on the metal and the lathes. It’s about getting the measurements right and making sure the parts fit. That is what a normal day looks like for us here in Bhandup. We stay late if a job isn't finished. It’s just how we operate day in and day out, making things work.
