Aditya Auto Industries

Down in Hadapsar at Kurunji 11, you will find us at Aditya Auto Industries. This is an industrial area, so it’s always loud with the sound of metal and machines. We mostly deal with small auto parts and some fabrication work. The workshop floor is almost always covered in a bit of grease and metal shavings, no matter how much we sweep it at the end of the shift. It’s not a clean office job, that’s for sure. My hands are usually stained with oil by ten in the morning. We started this small unit because we knew a bit about engines and how things are put together. There are about five of us working here right now. We have a couple of old lathes and a welding machine that has seen better days, but they still get the job done properly. The heat in Hadapsar during the summer is no joke, especially inside a tin-roof shed like ours. We keep a large earthen pot for cold water in the corner which everyone uses. Most of our work comes from local garages or smaller factories that need something specific made. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just know where we are or they hear about us from someone else in the trade. It’s hard work, but it pays the bills and keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday.
