Guru Nanak Engineering Works

Our workshop, Guru Nanak Engineering Works, is located over in Sector 7, specifically at D-106-107 in Gautam Budh Nagar. It’s an industrial area, so it’s always loud with the sound of machines and people moving metal around. We’ve got a lot of heavy equipment in here that we’ve used for years. It’s greasy and the floors are never really clean no matter how much we sweep, but that’s just the nature of engineering work. We do a lot of custom jobs for people who bring in sketches or just explain what they need. Sometimes we have to tell them it won't work the way they think, and we try to figure out a better way. We have a small corner with a few stools where we sit and eat our lunch from tiffin boxes. The smell of pickles and roti usually mixes with the smell of machine oil. We don't have a big fancy office for meetings. If a client comes by, we just talk to them right there on the shop floor, shouting over the noise of the grinders. Sometimes we have to wait a week for a specific type of steel to arrive, and that slows everything down, which is frustrating. We don't use any high-tech software to manage our jobs. It’s all written down in a thick diary with a red cover. Some of the pages are stained with grease. It’s not a perfect system, but it hasn't failed us yet.
