Matrukrupa Rajkot

It’s a bit dusty here on Jamnagar Road. We’ve been based in the Atika Industrial Area for quite some time now. You’ll find us right near Bajrang Restaurant, if you know that part of town. We mostly deal with metal parts and heavy work that needs doing. The heat inside the workshop gets to be a lot during the summer months, but that’s just part of the job. We start early most mornings to beat the sun. There is always a lot of noise coming from the other shops nearby too. We aren't some big fancy office with glass doors, just a practical place where stuff actually gets made or fixed. My cousin helps me out with the paperwork and I spend most of my time on the shop floor. Some weeks we have too much work to handle and other weeks it gets a bit quiet. People from around the neighborhood usually drop by when they have small jobs. We try to keep our tools sorted, but it gets pretty messy when we are right in the middle of a big project. We’ve watched this road change a lot over the years. The tea stall on the corner is where we usually spend our short breaks. It is not a very complicated setup we have here. We just focus on getting things done for whoever walks through the door. Sometimes the old machines act up on us and we have to spend time fixing them.
