Soni Industries

This workshop is tucked away on Street Number 10 in Vishwas Nagar, right in the heart of Shahdara. It’s a busy part of town and there is always noise coming from the other units nearby. We have been running Soni Industries from this same spot for a long time. The space is a bit cramped because we have all our tools and materials piled up, but we know where everything is. My father started working with metal years ago and I just followed him into it. We spend most of our day on the shop floor making sure the machines are running correctly. It gets quite hot in the summer, especially with the roof being what it is, but we keep the fans going and just get on with the work. Our neighbors are mostly other small businesses, so we all know each other well. Sometimes we share tools or help each other out when a truck gets stuck in the narrow lane outside. It is not a shiny office or anything like that. It is just a place where we come to work every morning and go home tired at night. We don't have a big team, just a few local guys who have been with us for years. We do things the old way because that is what we learned. It works for us and our customers seem to stay with us despite the fact that we aren't a big, polished corporation.
