Harshad Engineering Works

Harshad Engineering Works is at Plot No. 40/15 in the Jijvala Estate, which is part of the Sardar Estate on Ajwa Road. It is a bit of a trek to get out here if you are coming from the center of town, but it’s a good spot for engineering work. The estate is packed with different workshops, so there is always the sound of grinding and banging going on. Our plot is tucked away a bit, but we have enough space for our machines and a small area to keep our raw materials. The building is made of brick and has a tin roof that makes a lot of noise when it rains. We have a few old stools where we sit during our breaks. The Ajwa Road area has grown a lot lately, but our little corner of the Jijvala Estate stays pretty much the same. We don't spend much time on the computer; most of our work is done by hand or with the older lathes we have. We keep our tools organized on a big pegboard, though things usually end up scattered by the end of the day. It’s a basic workshop where we just try to do a decent job on whatever comes our way. We don't have any big signs, just the plot number and our name painted on the door. It gets very hot under that tin roof.
