Swastik Lubricants & Engineering Company

Our place is at Audumbar Heights, specifically Plot 12 on MIDC Road in Badlapur East. We’re quite close to the Shabari Hotel, which is a good landmark if you’re trying to find us for the first time. We handle lubricants and various engineering bits and pieces. It started out as a small idea among friends and turned into this daily routine. The shop is usually full of barrels and plastic containers. It smells like oil and metal in here, which is something you just get used to after a week or two. Badlapur has grown a lot, and being near the industrial zone helps us stay connected to what local workshops need. We aren't some massive corporation with a huge marketing budget. It’s just us, working the counter and checking the inventory. Some days the heat in the warehouse is a bit much, so we keep the fans running constantly. We get a mix of people coming in—some know exactly what they want, others need to look through the manuals for a bit. We don't mind. It’s part of the day. The traffic on MIDC Road can be a real headache in the evenings, but that's just how it is. We try to keep things organized, though with so many different types of oils and parts, it's a constant battle against the clutter. We just keep at it, one day at a time, making sure things go to the right people.
