Capital Steel Industries

Our place, Capital Steel Industries, is right across from the MTNL office on L.B.S. Marg in Vikhroli. It's near the old paper mill area. It’s a noisy spot because of all the traffic on the main road, but that’s just how it is in this part of Mumbai. We’ve got our shop set up there where we deal with all sorts of steel work. It’s dusty and loud most of the time because of the cutting and the heavy loads being moved. We aren't trying to be anything special, just a local business doing what we know. The crew here has been together for a while. We show up early, get the machines warmed up, and start on whatever orders came in. Sometimes the power goes out or a machine acts up, and we have to spend the afternoon fixing it instead of working. That’s just part of the deal. We don’t have a fancy website or a marketing team. Most people find us because they saw the sign or heard about us from someone else in the neighborhood. Being right near the old paper mill means there's always something going on nearby. L.B.S. Marg is never quiet, not even at night. Our shop is pretty basic. We have a high ceiling with some old fans that don’t do much in the humidity. Most of our day is spent moving heavy bars or operating the saws. It’s a grit-and-grime kind of job, but it’s honest work.
