Banaraswala Metal Crafts Private Ltd

We spend most of our time here at Shop 16 in the Kaipvrikasha Complex. It is right across from the Corporation Bank in Khanda Colony, so there is always a lot of foot traffic and noise from the street. People in New Panvel know this spot well. We handle a lot of metal work here. It gets hot sometimes because of the tools we use, but that is just part of the job. Most days start early when we open the shutters and get the machines ready. There is usually dust on the floor by noon and we have to sweep up constantly. We make different things out of metal, mostly for local needs. Sometimes it is small pieces, other times it is bigger stuff that takes a few guys to move around. The guys who work here have been doing this for a long time. They know how the metal should feel and when a piece is done right. We don't have a fancy office or anything like that. It is just a workspace with a lot of heavy equipment and some desks for the paperwork. If you walk by, you will probably hear the sound of cutting or grinding. That is how we know things are moving along. It is a simple life in Sector 9, and we just keep at it day after day. Most of our neighbors are shops too, so there is a nice community feel here in the complex.
