Mamta Engineering Works

Our workshop is over at 733 in the G I D C Industrial Estate in Asoj. It’s a large estate and it can be easy to get lost if you don’t have the plot number handy. We do engineering work here, mostly stuff involving heavy metal and fabrication. The building is basically a large shed with a high roof. It gets really loud when the hammers and drills are going at the same time. We don't have any air conditioning, just the big open doors to let the breeze in. We've got a small area for an office, but mostly it’s just used for keeping the ledger and some old blueprints. We don't have any slogans or missions. We just show up in the morning, look at what needs to be welded or cut, and get to it. Most of the people working here have lived in the area their whole lives. We know the other shop owners on this block and sometimes we borrow tools from each other. It’s a very practical environment. We don't worry about being the biggest or the most modern; we just want to do the work that comes our way and go home at the end of the day. The concrete floor is cracked in a few places, but it’s been there for twenty years. It’s just a regular place with regular people working hard. That’s about it.
