Hardik H. Shah

I run things over at Plot No. 929-2 in the Gidc Ind. Estate. The name on the paper is Hardik H. Shah, but it’s really just me and a couple of helpers doing the daily work. We’ve been at this plot for a good number of years. It’s a basic setup, nothing that’s going to win any awards for design, but it gets the job done. We spend most of our time out in the shed area where the equipment is. I don't really go for the corporate lifestyle. My desk is usually covered in notebooks and spare parts that I haven't put away yet. In the Gidc, you get used to the heat and the noise of the neighbors. We mostly keep to ourselves and focus on whatever project is on the bench today. It’s a practical way to work. I’ve lived around here for a long time, so I know most of the people on this street. We don't have a big website or a bunch of brochures to hand out. If someone needs something done, they usually just walk in and ask me directly. That’s how business is done in this part of the estate. It’s honest work and it keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday. Sometimes we are here late if a machine breaks down, but that’s just part of the deal. We keep it straightforward here.
