Shree Shakti Engineering

We’ve been here at 668 Santacruz East for quite a while now. It’s right in the middle of Gandhibazaar, which stays busy from early morning till late. Being opposite the Marathi School means we hear the bell ring all day long. My father started this engineering shop and I just kept it going. We do all sorts of metal work and machining here. Sometimes the shop gets a bit messy with all the scraps and oil, but that’s just how an engineering place looks when work is happening. People around here know where we are because of the big gate. We don't have fancy office chairs or air conditioning. Most of the day is spent handling tools or talking to someone about a part they need fixed. It gets hot in the afternoons but we have a good fan. We usually have tea from the stall nearby around four o'clock. The traffic on the road can be a headache when we’re trying to load things onto a truck, but we manage. If you walk past the school, you’ll see our sign. It isn't new, but it's still holding up. We try to finish things by the time we promised, though sometimes parts take longer to arrive. It’s just me and a few guys working in the back. We like the neighborhood even if it's noisy. Most of our tools have been with us for years and they still work fine.
