Artech Technology

Our place, Artech Technology, is inside the Maa Geeta Complex on Bhootnath Road. It’s a typical tech shop, which means there are tangled wires, open computer towers, and random tools all over the place. I spend most of my time leaning over a workbench with a screwdriver or a soldering iron. The complex gets quite a bit of foot traffic, but since we are one of the tech spots, people usually come in with a specific problem like a broken screen or a slow laptop. I try to keep the place tidy, but when you have five different repairs going on at once, it’s hard. The air in here smells a bit like ozone and burnt plastic sometimes. We have a couple of chairs for people to wait on, but they usually end up looking over my shoulder to see what I’m doing. My partner handles the software side of things on the other desk, which is usually buried under old hard drives and pen drives. We don't have a big sign outside, just the name on the door and the word of mouth from people in the neighborhood. The lighting isn't great, so we use these desk lamps to see the tiny parts. It’s a busy life, and we usually stay late to finish up the builds or fix the last few errors before heading home. We aren't corporate people, just guys who like fixing stuff and making sure it works right.
