Bombay Forgings Limited

Our shop is out in Pandit Dindayal Nagar, located in the Gudiyari area of Raipur. We work with forgings, which basically means we spend our days shaping and hitting metal. It’s very hot work, and the weather in Chhattisgarh doesn't make it any easier for us. The shop floor is always busy and there is a lot of constant banging and noise coming from the hammers. We’ve been in this particular part of Raipur for a good bit of time now. Everyone living in Gudiyari knows the industrial side of the neighborhood well. It’s definitely not a clean job; most of us go home covered in black grease and soot almost every single day. The office is just a small, cramped room in the far corner where we keep the logs and the order books. We don't have any marketing people or anyone hired to write fancy things about us. We just know how to handle the metal and get the shapes right. Sometimes the shipments go out late because the roads around here get blocked, but we manage to get by. We have a few older guys who have been working here since the place first opened up. They show the younger workers how to do things the right way. It’s a simple life for us here. We start when the sun comes up and we finish when the day's work is finally done. There are no big slogans on our walls.
