Milind Chaphekar Consulting Engineers

We've been running our engineering consultancy here in Karad for a while now. The office is located right in Mangalwar Peth, which is a pretty busy part of town. It’s not a fancy place with glass walls or anything, just a regular office where we sit down and get the work done. Mostly, we deal with structural plans and various technical drawings for people in the Satara district. My desk is usually a mess of blueprints and coffee cups, but that’s just how it goes when you’re busy. We don’t really do any big advertising or marketing. People mostly find us because they heard from a neighbor or a friend that we do okay work. It’s a small operation with just a couple of us handling the math and the site visits. Sometimes we are out in the field all day, getting dusty and checking on construction progress. Other days we are just here, staring at the computer screens and trying to make sure all the measurements are right. We don't have any grand statements to make about what we do. It is just honest engineering work for the folks around here. We like the pace of life in Karad and how everyone knows each other. If you walk past our building in the afternoon, you might see us taking a tea break out front. It’s a simple way to run a business, and it seems to work for us and the people we help out.
