Karan Tractors

Karan Tractors is located at F/15 in the Ganeshkhind area of Shivaji Nagar. It’s a spot that stays pretty loud because of all the traffic coming through, but we don't mind much. The yard is usually filled with heavy metal parts, large tires, and the smell of engine oil. Most of the people who visit us are coming from the outskirts, looking for specific components to get their machinery back into the fields. We spend our days with grease on our hands, looking through catalogs or climbing onto the back of a flatbed truck to check a serial number. The office is just a small partitioned area with a computer that’s a few years old and a stack of greasy manuals. We don't have any air conditioning, just a big pedestal fan that blows the dust around. Shivaji Nagar is a central place, so it’s convenient for deliveries, even if parking a tractor can be a bit of a nightmare. We’ve had the same calendar on the wall for two years because nobody bothered to change it. It doesn't matter much to the farmers who come in; they just want to know if we have the part in stock. We talk about the weather and the crops while we wait for the billing to finish. It’s a straightforward business where a person’s word still means something.
