Hitech Engineering Corporation

If you walk through the narrow lanes of Kashmere Gate, near Punja Sharif, you’ll find Hitech Engineering Corporation. We’re tucked away in Gali Bagiche Wali. It’s a crowded area, full of shops and people selling all sorts of hardware. Our place is 1/164, and it’s usually packed with metal parts and tools. We do engineering work, mostly fixing things or making small parts that people need for their machines. It’s loud out on the street, and it’s just as busy inside. We don't have a big shiny showroom. It’s a workshop, plain and simple. There are stacks of metal rods in the corner and the smell of cutting oil in the air. We’ve been in this spot for a while. Local people know us, and we know them. Sometimes we have to shout over the noise of the neighboring shops just to hear a customer. We work with our hands mostly. If someone brings in a broken part, we see if we can replicate it or fix it up. It’s not a glamorous life, but it’s what we do. The lighting inside isn't the best, but we know where everything is kept. From early morning until the sun goes down, we’re busy with the lathes and the drills. It’s a tight space, but we make it work. Kashmere Gate is a tough place to navigate, but we wouldn’t be anywhere else. We usually keep the gate halfway open to let some air in.
