Aakash Engineering Works

If you come down to Gidc Ind. Estate and look for Plot No. 681-1 you will find us right there in the middle of it all. Aakash Engineering Works has been operating out of this workshop for years. It is a noisy place because we always have the machines running from eight in the morning until late. There’s the constant hum of the lathes and the occasional sound of metal hitting the floor which is just part of the atmosphere. The floor is covered in fine metal shavings and oil spots that never really seem to go away no matter how much we sweep. We don't have a big corporate team or anything like that. It is just a few of us who know the machines inside and out and we spend most of our time bent over blueprints or checking measurements with our calipers. The office is just a glass-walled corner where the phone rings more than it should. Sometimes the power goes out in the estate and we all just sit outside on the steps and wait for it to come back on. It gives us a chance to talk to the neighbors or grab a soda from the stall down the road. We do a lot of custom parts and repairs that keep us busy enough that we don't have time to worry about making the place look pretty. It’s a practical shop for practical work.
