Akshay Engineering Works

Our workshop is at Survey No. 50/11 in Mahadev Nagar. We are right on Mundhwa Road, which is always packed with cars and bikes, especially since we are so close to the Bollywood Multiplex in Vadgaon Sheri. You can always see people walking to the movies while we are in here working with heavy metal and tools. Akshay Engineering Works isn't a large factory, it's more of a local spot where we handle whatever engineering jobs come through the door. The floor is usually covered in metal shavings and we always seem to be looking for a wrench that someone put down in the wrong place. We’ve got a couple of old machines that still run better than the new ones, though they make a lot of racket. It gets pretty busy around here in the evenings when everyone is out and about. We usually leave the big shutters open so we can get a bit of a breeze from the road. Sometimes customers come in just to ask for directions because they are lost looking for the cinema. We don't mind much, it's just part of being in this neighborhood. We work with our hands and usually end the day with black fingernails and sore backs. It is just steady, honest work that we have been doing for years in this same spot near the theater. It isn't much, but it's what we do.
