El Tech

You can find us over at 606 A Khanapur Haveli on Lallbagh Road. We’re pretty close to the Mamleader Kacheri, which is a good landmark if you’re trying to find the place. El Tech is basically a small shop where we handle various electronic tasks. It’s an old building with a lot of character, and we’ve been here for a while now. The space inside is mostly taken up by workbenches and tools. We don’t spend much on decorations because we’re usually too busy fixing things. Most days start with us opening up and checking what came in the day before. We get all sorts of people walking in. Some are locals from around Khanapur Haveli, and others are just passing through Lallbagh Road. We try to be helpful without making things sound more difficult than they are. If a part is broken, we say it’s broken. If it can be fixed, we fix it. There’s no big philosophy behind it; it’s just what we do to earn a living. The area around the Kacheri can get pretty busy with people and traffic, so it’s never exactly quiet here. We like the energy though. It feels like we’re in the middle of things. We’ve got a small team, and we all know each other’s habits by now. It’s a simple life, working with our hands and making sure the electronics we handle actually work when they leave. We just focus on doing a decent job every day.
