Anushka Engineering Works

Down in Moshi, specifically at Gat No. 621 in Borhade Wadi, is where we set up Anushka Engineering Works. This area has changed quite a bit since we first arrived at Vinakya Nagar near Alhat Vashi. It used to be much quieter but now there are small workshops popping up everywhere you look. We do a lot of fabrication and general engineering work which means our hands are almost always covered in grease or metal dust. The shed is large enough for our machines but it fills up fast when we have a big project going on. We don't have a team of hundreds, just a few local guys who know their way around a welding torch. We start our day when the sun comes up to beat the heat of the afternoon. There isn't any air conditioning here, just some big industrial fans that move the air around while we work. We don't have a mission statement or a fancy logo on the wall. The walls are mostly covered in old calendars and notes about measurements we need to remember. It’s a practical way to live and work. We see a lot of regular faces who come to us because we are right here in the neighborhood and they don't want to drive into the city. It’s a long day usually but we like the routine of it. We just fix what's broken or make what's asked for. It isn't a complicated way to spend a career and we hope to stay in this spot for a while longer yet.
