Ashwamedh Kitchen

Our day at Ashwamedh Kitchen usually begins with the sound of metal hitting metal. We are situated on the Link Road in Andheri East 2160 but we have roots in Sadashiv Peth too. It is a long way between those two places and I spend a lot of time on the phone coordinating things. The workshop in Andheri East is full of stainless steel sheets and welding tools. We make things for people's houses like racks and cupboards and it gets very dusty with all the grinding. The Link Road traffic is always a mess so getting materials delivered on time is a constant struggle. I usually eat my lunch sitting on a wooden crate because there isn't much office space. We don't use fancy computer designs just a pencil and a measuring tape most of the time. The floor is covered in metal shavings and you have to be careful where you step. Sadashiv Peth is where we started out and we still think about the narrow streets there while we work in the bigger space in Andheri. It is honest work and we have plenty of scars on our hands to prove it. Most people find us because they saw our boards near the 2160 block. We just keep our heads down and finish the cabinets the best we can every single day.
