Shanti Metal Works

Shanti Metal Works is located on BTS Main Road in Kandivali West. It’s a lively area, and there is always something happening on the street outside. Our shop is at 132 BTS Main Road and is filled with various pieces of metal and the smell of iron. We’ve got a workbench that’s been with us since the beginning, and it’s got all the dents and marks to prove it. We don’t use any high-tech gadgets to keep track of things; it’s mostly just notebooks and a lot of memory. The lighting isn't great, but we know where everything is even in the dark. Working with metal is tough on the hands, and most of us have the calluses to show for it. We keep a radio on most of the day, playing some old songs to keep the mood light while we work. The address says Ramaswamy Palya, and we’ve seen the neighborhood change a lot over the years, but our shop stays pretty much the same. We have a small corner for making tea, which is the most important part of the afternoon. People stop by just to chat sometimes, and we don't mind. We aren't in a hurry to grow into some huge corporation. We just like doing the work we know and staying part of the local scene here in Kandivali. It keeps us busy and the bills paid. We just take it day by day.
