Prakash Engineering Works

Our shop is over on Plot No.Ts-7 in Phase 1 of Midc. If you know where the State Bank Fo India is, we are located right near there. It’s a loud place most of the time. You can hear the metal cutting and the drills going from the moment the shutters go up. We do a lot of different engineering jobs. People bring in parts that need fixing or they want something specific made from steel or iron. My clothes usually have a bit of grease on them by noon. It's just the way it goes here. The floor is concrete and it’s seen better days, but the machines are what matter most. We have a small office in the corner where the paperwork sits, but most of the work happens out on the floor. It gets pretty dusty when the grinding starts. Sometimes the power cuts out and everything goes quiet, which is a bit of a break I guess. We aren’t some high-tech lab. It’s just hammers, lathes, and a lot of sweat. We’ve been in this part of Midc for a long time now. Most of the other shop owners around here are friends. We borrow tools from each other sometimes. It’s a decent way to make a living. Nothing too complicated about it. We just show up, do the work, and go home to our families at night. The fan in the corner wobbles a bit but it keeps us cool enough during the summer.
