Tata Motors

Out here in Chikhali, things are a bit different than the center of the city. We are located near Ganeshnagar on the Akurdi Road, and it’s a pretty active area for transport. Our branch of Tata Motors sees a lot of action because of the location in Taluka Haveli. Most days start early with coffee and a look at what’s waiting for us in the lot. There’s always a list of things to do, and sometimes we don’t get through all of it by five o’clock. The ground gets quite dusty when the trucks pull in, and we’re constantly sweeping just to keep some kind of order. It's a practical place, really. We don't have those big glass windows you see in the new showrooms. It’s more about the smell of oil and the sound of wrenches hitting the floor. The guys here have been working together for years, so we don’t talk much while we’re busy. We just know what needs to happen next. If the weather is nice, we might sit outside for a bit during lunch, but usually, there’s too much going on to stay still for long. Being part of the Pune-412114 area means we're right in the middle of a lot of industrial movement. We just try to keep up with the pace and make sure the vehicles leaving here are ready for the road again. It's just a regular shop doing regular work.
