Alpha Engineering Systems

Our place, Alpha Engineering Systems, is located in the F-block of Mangol Puri in New Delhi. If you know this area, you know it is mostly industrial and very busy. Our unit at F-1240 is where we spend all our time. The street outside is usually lined with scooters and small trucks loading or unloading stuff. It is quite loud during the day with the sound of machinery and people shouting over the noise. Inside, it’s a bit of a mess of wires, metal scraps, and tools. We don't really bother with making it look pretty for visitors because we are always right in the middle of a project. The Delhi heat in June is no joke, and our small coolers barely keep up, but we keep the shutters open for whatever breeze we can get. We have a small desk near the front where we keep the ledger and handle the billing. The rest of the space is for the actual engineering work. It is a practical setup for people who work with their hands. We usually grab lunch from the local stalls nearby, and there is a tea guy who comes around twice a day. It is a tough neighborhood but it has its own rhythm. We have lived and worked in Delhi for a long time, so we don't mind the chaos of Mangol Puri. It feels like the right place for an engineering shop like ours, where things are real and we get dirty every day.
