Micro Engineering

Our shop is tucked away in the Jai Bonanza Industrial Estate over in Ashok Nagar. If you’re in Kandivili East, you probably know where that is. It’s an industrial area, so there’s always the sound of machines and trucks moving about. We’ve been operating out of this unit for quite some time. It’s not the cleanest place because we’re always working with metal and tools. There’s usually a bit of grease on the floor and our hands stay pretty dirty until the end of the shift. We do engineering work, mostly small parts and repairs that people need. It’s hard work but it’s what we know how to do. The estate can be a bit maze-like if you’ve never been here before. We share the space with a lot of other small businesses doing similar things. We all kind of look out for each other. If we need a specific tool we don't have, the guy next door usually helps out. It’s a decent way to earn a living. We don’t have a fancy front office or a receptionist. If you come by, you’ll likely find us in the back near the lathes. We just focus on the job at hand. Sometimes it gets hot in the summer but we have a couple of big fans that keep the air moving. It’s just how things are here.
