Naik Engineering

Gala No. 1 in Soni Estate is where we do all our work. We’re located on Pokhran Road No. 1, right near Upvan in Thane. It’s a small space, and it’s usually quite oily and loud because of the machines we run. We’ve been here at Naik Engineering for years, and the estate has seen better days, but it’s home for us. We mostly deal with mechanical parts and fixing whatever comes through the door. There’s no front desk or secretary; if you want to talk to someone, you usually have to yell over the noise of a lathe or a grinder. We spend a lot of time with grease under our fingernails and drawings spread out on the workbench. The lake is nearby, so sometimes we walk over there just to get some fresh air during a break. The heat in the gala can be pretty intense during the summer months, but we just keep the doors open and keep working. We don't bother with fancy brochures or websites. Most of our work comes from people who know us and know we’ll get the job done without too much fuss. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living, and we’re happy to be part of the local community here in Upvan. Every day is a bit different, but it always involves getting our hands dirty and solving some kind of mechanical problem that needs our attention.
