Kumar Engineering Works

Kumar Engineering Works is located up on the second floor in Hanuman Nagar, specifically in the Gulmohmad Chawl area of Kandivali East. It’s on Akurli Road, which is always busy with people and rickshaws zipping around. To get to us, you have to go up some narrow stairs, which can be a bit of a challenge if we’re carrying heavy metal pieces or new machinery. Our workshop isn't very large, but we’ve managed to fit a lot of equipment into the space over the years. We do basic engineering stuff, mostly welding and making small metal frames or fixing parts that have snapped off. We’ve lived and worked in this part of Kandivali for a long time. The neighborhood is tight-knit, and we know most of the other shop owners around Hanuman Nagar. We don't have a website or any fancy advertisements to show off. Usually, people just hear about us from someone else in the chawl or nearby who has had work done here. It’s dusty and noisy work, but it’s what we know how to do. Sometimes we stay late when a job needs to be finished, and you can hear the sound of the grinder echoing through the alleyway. We don't have air conditioning, just a couple of old fans that move the hot air around. It’s not a glamorous life, but we take pride in making sure the welds are strong and the measurements are right. It’s just us doing our bit.
