Shilpa Metal Works

You can find us at W-87, Street No 4 in the Chander Shekhar / Azad Gali part of West Babarpur, Shahdara. It’s one of those narrow streets where everyone knows each other, and it can get quite cramped when deliveries are arriving. Our workshop is right there on the street, and you can usually hear the sound of metal being worked on before you even see the door. We have various tools and machines squeezed into the space, and it gets quite hot in the summer months. There is always a lot of dust and bits of metal around, so we wear our old clothes that we don't mind getting dirty. We don't have a showroom or any fancy displays. If someone wants to see what we are doing, they just walk into the workshop and talk to us while we work. Shahdara is a crowded place, and West Babarpur is no different, with people and rickshaws moving through the lanes all day long. We spend most of our time bent over workbenches or tending to the machines. It’s a tough environment, but it’s what we’ve always done. The neighbors are used to the noise we make. We aren't trying to be some big corporation; we are just a small local shop in a busy lane, making things out of metal and trying to get through the daily pile of work on our table.
