Chaman Metal & Engineering Co.

Chaman Metal & Engineering Co. is located at 113/117, on the 1st floor of 3rd Kumbharwada Lane. If you know this area, you know it’s packed with small shops and lots of activity. The lane is narrow, so getting big stuff in and out can be a real headache sometimes. Our space is filled with metal scraps, tools, and old machinery. It’s not a pretty sight, but it’s where we do our engineering work. We handle a lot of custom jobs for people in the neighborhood. Usually, someone walks in with a broken part or a rough sketch, and we see what we can do. It’s a lot of manual labor and using our hands. The lighting isn't the best, and it gets quite dusty, but we don't mind. 3rd Kumbharwada Lane is always full of sounds—hammers hitting metal and the grind of saws. It’s a bit chaotic, but there’s a rhythm to it. We’ve got shelves reaching up to the ceiling filled with bits of brass, copper, and iron. You have to watch your step so you don't trip over a piece of pipe. We don't bother with a formal uniform; we just wear whatever can get dirty. Most of our work is about solving small problems for people. We’ve seen the city change a lot from this window. It’s a hard way to make a living, but it’s what we’ve done for decades.
