Chaphekar Engineering Pvt. Ltd.

Our engineering factory is located at S N 239/240 in the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park. It’s right in Phase I of Hinjewadi. It’s an interesting place to be located because we are surrounded by all these big IT towers and software companies, but we are doing traditional heavy engineering work. We have big machines, presses, and a lot of raw steel sitting around the floor. The sound of metal being cut or shaped is a constant background noise here. It’s a big shift from the quiet office buildings next door. Our workers wear heavy boots and blue overalls. The floor is marked out with faded yellow lines to keep everyone in the right areas. We’ve been in the Hinjewadi area since before it became so famous for computers and software. The office part of our building is actually quite small and mostly filled with old filing cabinets and a few computers for the payroll. We don't have a fancy lobby or any corporate decorations. When you come to see us, you’re likely to see someone moving a heavy crate or checking a technical drawing on a clipboard. It’s a very practical environment. We focus on getting the metal parts made correctly and shipped out on the right dates. The traffic in Hinjewadi can be a real headache during the rush hour, so many of us arrive quite early to get started. It’s just honest work here.
