Varni Engineering Co.

Our place is in Adajan, at A-16 in the Godavari Flats. It is a bit unusual to have an engineering setup in a residential block, but it works out fine for us. The neighbors are used to the sounds of our work by now and don't complain much. We spend most of our time at the big drawing table or working on small mechanical parts on the bench. The flat is on the ground floor which makes it easier to move heavy toolboxes in and out. It’s not a huge factory, just a focused space where we handle different engineering problems. The light coming through the side windows is good in the morning. We have some old cupboards full of manuals and tools that we have collected over the years. Adajan has grown so much since we first started here. There is a lot of traffic on Anand Mahal Road now, so getting to the office can be a bit of a crawl in the evenings. We usually have the radio playing softly in the corner while we work. The floor is concrete and has some permanent stains from oil and grease. It’s a very practical space for what we do. We don't have a receptionist, so if the bell rings, one of us just gets up from the workbench to see who it is. We prefer it this way because it keeps things simple. Every day is different depending on what kind of job comes in. We just stick to our routine and get it done.
