Bharati Engineering Works

Bharati Engineering Works has been based at Plot No-A/18 in the Aslam Industrial Premises for a long time. We are right across from Micro Labs Ltd. in the Chandi Valli area of Andheri East. This part of Mumbai is always packed, and our industrial estate is no different. It’s a lot of noise, from the neighbors' machines to the traffic on the main road. Our unit isn't very big, but we’ve squeezed in everything we need to handle our engineering jobs. We mostly do lathe work and some welding. The floor is usually covered in metal shavings, and there’s always a faint smell of machine coolant in the air. We don’t have a fancy office upstairs, just a small desk in the corner where we keep the ledger. It’s a hands-on place. If you come looking for the boss, he’s probably under a machine or talking to one of the operators. We’ve seen many businesses in Chandi Valli come and go, but we’ve managed to stick around by just being consistent. It’s hard work, especially when the monsoon hits and the roads get flooded, but we keep the shutters open as much as we can. We don't spend money on advertising or anything. Most of our work comes from other shops nearby who know we can handle the tricky bits they can't do. It’s a local operation, through and through, and we like it.
