A. Nanda Engineering

A. Nanda Engineering is tucked away at 204 in the Tirupati Industrial Estate. If you walk through the estate, you will hear the hum of machines coming from our unit. We do a lot of small-scale engineering work, mostly fixing parts or making specific components that people can't find in regular stores. The workshop is full of tools, and there is usually a coat of oil on most surfaces. It is just the nature of the work. I spend my days over the lathe or checking measurements on a piece of metal. It is precise work, but the environment is very casual. We wear old clothes that we don't mind getting dirty. The Tirupati Industrial Estate is a hub of activity, so there is always someone coming in to ask if we can weld something or turn a piece of steel on the machine. We don't have a secretary or a waiting room. People just come to the door and talk to us directly. Sometimes the machines break down and we have to spend the whole day fixing our own gear before we can even start on the customer's work. It can be frustrating, but that is how it goes in a small engineering shop. We just take it one job at a time and try to get things done right so they don't come back broken.
