Geeta Steel Works

Geeta Steel Works is tucked away in Kandivali East, specifically at C 59 in Chakala. It’s one of those spots that’s easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. Mumbai is always moving fast, and this area is no different. We spend our mornings checking on the inventory and seeing what needs to be moved out. The space we have isn't huge, so we have to be smart about where we put things. It’s a bit of a walk from the main road, which is nice because it’s a little quieter. Still, the humid air stays heavy inside the workshop. We’ve got a few machines that have been with us for years. They make a lot of noise, but they still work just fine. Usually, there’s three or four of us here at any given time. We don't wear suits or anything like that. Usually just work clothes that get dirty pretty fast. My dad used to say that a clean floor meant no work was getting done, so we don't worry too much about a bit of scrap lying around. We handle the steel and make sure the measurements are right. That’s about it. We close up around seven and head home like everyone else. It’s a simple setup but it works for us. If you ever find yourself in this part of Kandivali, you’ll see we are just a normal bunch of guys working.
