Mahindra Forgings Ltd., Chakan

Our place is located in Bhairvanath Society over in Sinnar, which is in the Nasik district. Even though the name mentions Chakan, our day-to-day operations happen right here in this specific part of Maharashtra. The pin code is 422 103 if anyone is actually trying to find the place. Sinnar is a bit of a drive from the main city area, so it’s a lot quieter here than you might expect. The society where we are based is a mix of people living their lives and some small businesses like ours. We work on the forging side of things for Mahindra Forgings Ltd., Chakan, so it can get a bit loud from time to time, but we try to keep things organized. The weather in Nasik is usually okay, though the winters get surprisingly cold in the early mornings when we first arrive. We have a small team here. Most of us have been working together for years, so we know exactly how everyone likes their chai. We spend a lot of time on the floor checking parts and making sure the machines are running okay. It’s not a shiny corporate office with glass walls or expensive furniture. It’s a real workshop environment. We handle the paperwork in a small corner office that overlooks the street. Sometimes the power goes out in this area for an hour or two, so we just wait it out and talk about the local news. It’s a simple life.
