Tech Mount Engineers

Out here in Dammaiguda, at 21-7-46, is where you’ll find our workshop. It’s not the cleanest place in the world, but engineering never is. There’s usually a bit of oil on the floor and the smell of cut metal in the air. We’ve got a few lathes and some old welding machines that have seen better days but still work perfectly. Most of our day is spent fixing parts or fabricating bits and pieces for local factories. It’s a lot of measuring and double-checking. If you get it wrong by a millimeter, the whole thing is useless, so we try to stay sharp. The noise from the grinders is constant, so we all wear earplugs, which makes talking to each other a bit of a challenge sometimes. We use hand signals a lot. Dammaiguda is growing fast, and there’s always someone needing a repair or a custom bracket made. We don’t have a receptionist; if the phone rings, whoever is closest to the bench picks it up. Usually, their hands are covered in grease, so the phone is a bit messy too. We just like solving problems with our hands. It’s satisfying to take a piece of raw steel and turn it into something useful. We aren't looking to become some huge company. We just want to keep the machines running and help out the people who come to our door with broken parts.
