Sharma Packers & Engineering Works

You can find us at Inderlok 313/43-H. Sharma Packers & Engineering Works has been operating out of this small space for a long time. It’s a mix of packing stuff and some mechanical work. There’s always the smell of grease and cardboard in the air. We deal with a lot of boxes and heavy tape. Inderlok is a crowded place, so we have to be quick when we’re loading the vans or people start complaining about the road being blocked. We do a bit of engineering work on the side, fixing small parts or adjusting machines when needed. It’s not the cleanest job in the world. Our hands stay dirty most of the day. The shop has tools scattered around because we’re usually in the middle of three things at once. We don't have a receptionist or anything. If someone comes by, they just shout for one of us from the front. We’ve got some old machines that still work better than the new ones we see. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit outside until it comes back on. It’s how things go in this part of town. We just try to keep the customers happy by getting their things packed right so nothing breaks on the road. It’s a basic setup, nothing more than what’s needed to get the work finished by evening. We keep a stack of old newspapers and rags for cleaning the engine parts.
