Vaibhavi Impolo Auto Comp Pvt. Ltd.

You can find us at 35/1 on the Old Pune Mumbai Road in Tathawade. It’s a good location because of all the traffic passing through to the bigger cities. We focus on auto components, mostly parts that people don't think about until they break. The workshop is usually busy from early morning. We have a team of guys who have been with us for years. They know the machines inside and out. It’s not a quiet place, with the sound of metal and tools all day. I spend most of my time in the small office near the entrance, trying to keep up with the orders. Sometimes the power goes out, and we have to wait for the generator to kick in, which is just part of life here. We don't have a lot of fancy furniture. Most of the chairs have mismatched cushions. It’s more important that the parts we make are solid and fit right. We've seen a lot of changes in the auto industry over the years, but the basic need for good parts hasn't changed. We just keep our heads down and do our work. It’s a decent living and we take pride in staying open through the tough times. We often have some tea and snacks together at the end of the shift to unwind. It’s a lot of work, but we manage fine.
