Gurdeep Engineering Works

Our workshop, Gurdeep Engineering Works, is located in Village Chaswal along the Nabha Road. Being out here in the village means we have a bit more open space than the shops squeezed into the city center, which is quite nice during the hotter months. It is a much more relaxed atmosphere around here, though the actual work we do is still quite hard. We handle various engineering jobs, mostly doing repairs and making custom parts for the local machinery used in the area. People from the surrounding farms and the smaller businesses nearby bring us their broken equipment, and we see what we can do to fix it up. The shop is basically a large shed with a high ceiling and a concrete floor that has seen better days. It is filled with lathes, welding equipment, and piles of scrap metal in the corners. We are not trying to be some high-tech firm with computers everywhere; we just use the tools we have to get the machines working again. Sometimes birds fly in and out of the rafters while we are busy with a job. It is a very different feeling from the big industrial complexes. We do not have a website or any social media pages. Most people just pull their tractors or trucks right up to the front door and ask for Gurdeep. We drink some tea, talk about the crops or the weather, and then get back to the grinding and welding. It is an honest way to make a living.
