Abhay Engineering Works

Our workshop is down in Hingane Khurd at number 3. It is a small space, and honestly, it’s usually quite a mess with metal scraps and tools lying around everywhere. We have been working out of this spot for quite some time now. The sound of the grinders and the welding machines is pretty much constant from morning until evening. We don’t have an air conditioner, so we just keep the big front door open to let whatever breeze there is come in. Most of the time, our clothes are covered in grease or iron filings, and that’s just how it goes in this line of work. People bring us things that are broken or need a bit of adjustment, and we just figure it out as we go. There is a small desk in the corner where we keep the bills, but it’s mostly covered in spare parts. Hingane Khurd is a place where people know each other, so we often have friends stopping by just to chat for five minutes while we work. We don't have a receptionist or anything like that. If you come in, you just shout over the noise of the machines to get our attention. We work until the sun goes down and then we spend about half an hour just putting the tools back where they belong so we can find them the next day. It’s hard work, but it’s what we know how to do.
