Jay Ganesh Engineering Works

Our workshop is at Stop No.14 in the Shreeji Complex, which is in Nehru Nagar, Pimpri. It is a very industrial area, so you hear the sound of machines and metal all day long. We have some lathes and other equipment that take up a lot of the floor space. It’s usually quite warm inside because of the machinery running, and there is always a faint smell of cutting oil in the air. We are a small team and most of us wear overalls that get dirty pretty fast. We don't have a fancy front office; customers just walk right into the work area and talk to us. We might have to turn off a machine just to hear what they are saying. It’s a very practical environment. We spend our time fixing parts or making new ones based on the sketches people bring in. Sometimes the sketches are just on a piece of scrap paper, so we have to clarify things. We’ve been at this spot for a while now, and the neighbors are all in similar trades. We help each other out with tools sometimes. There’s a tea stall just outside the complex where we take a break in the afternoon. It’s not a polished business with a lot of rules, just a place where we work with our hands and try to satisfy the people who need our help.
