Pratik Engineering Corporation

Pratik Engineering Corporation is based out of the G.I.D.C. area in Antalia, which is part of Navsari. Being in an industrial estate like this means there is always noise and movement. Our shed is at C1-182. We deal with engineering work, mostly making parts or fixing machinery that local factories need. It’s dusty and loud most days, but that is the nature of the job. My father or someone from the family is usually around the floor. We don’t have a big corporate office with glass walls; it’s just a desk in the corner of the workshop with lots of files and old blueprints. The tea guy comes around twice a day, and that is when we usually take a break. Navsari is a good place for this kind of work because everyone knows everyone else in the G.I.D.C. network. If we don’t have a specific tool, the neighbor probably does. We take on orders as they come, sometimes small bits for a local workshop and sometimes bigger batches. We don’t make grand promises, we just tell you when the work will be finished based on how many machines are running. It is straightforward work. We have been at this spot for years and seen the area change, but our workshop stays pretty much the same. It is a bit messy with metal scraps and oil, but it works for us. We just keep our heads down and finish the fabrication.
