Shakti Metal Forms

Our place is Shakti Metal Forms. You can find us at Goregaon East on IB Patel Road. We occupy unit 101. It’s an industrial area, so there is always a lot of truck movement and dust around. We’ve been set up here for a bit. The work involves a lot of shaping metal into different forms, which is exactly what the name suggests. It is loud work. You can’t really avoid the sound of machines if you are working here. Most of the guys have been with us for years. We aren't trying to be the biggest company in Mumbai. We just want to finish the orders that come in on time. Sometimes the electricity acts up, but that is just part of living in this city. We keep a stack of metal sheets and rods ready. It gets hot in the summer, especially with the machines running all day. We drink a lot of tea and just keep moving. It is not the kind of job where you sit in a chair. You are on your feet, measuring and cutting. Most of our customers are from the nearby factories. They know where we are. We don't bother with fancy brochures or expensive ads. If someone needs a specific metal form, they come talk to us directly at the gate. It’s straightforward. We just do the work and go home. We like it that way.
