Dev Industry

You’ll find us at 9/1 on the Indira Nagarsitra Kalaptti Road. It's a bit of a drive out to Kalaptti from the main city, but it's where we've set up Dev Industry. The road outside gets pretty dusty with all the heavy trucks passing by, especially during the hot afternoons. Our workshop is a large, open space where we handle most of the heavy industrial work. It gets quite hot in the summer months, but we have some big industrial fans that help a little bit with the air. We started out small and just kept adding bits of equipment and tools as we went along. There’s almost always someone working on something at the benches, whether it's welding parts or just measuring out pieces for a new job. We don't really have a front office or a fancy reception area, so if someone comes by to see us, they usually just walk straight into the work area to find one of the staff. We take our tea breaks outside by the entrance when the weather isn't too bad. Most of the people who work here live in the nearby villages, so we're all pretty familiar with each other and our families. It's a very straightforward and honest place to work. We don't spend much time on paperwork or computer work if we can help it. We’d much rather be out on the floor getting things built and ready. The day usually ends around six, and then we lock up the gate and head home.
