Shree Dutt Engineering

We’ve been set up here at 73 Kapurai GIDC for quite a few years now. Most mornings start with unlocking the main shutters at Por Raman Gamdi while the air is still a bit cool. It’s an industrial area, so there is always that smell of grease and metal in the air, and trucks are constantly rumbling past the front door. The workshop inside is pretty simple. We have our benches and the machines that have been with us for a long time. Shree Dutt Engineering isn't a big flashy office with fancy chairs. It’s a place where we get our hands dirty every day. Sometimes the power goes out for an hour and we all just sit outside and talk until it comes back on. The floor is usually covered in scrap and there’s a thick layer of dust on the window sills that never seems to go away. Finding the place can be a bit tricky for newcomers since the lane numbers are small, but once you see the stack of metal rods outside, you know you’ve arrived. We mostly just keep to ourselves and focus on whatever job is on the bench that day. It’s noisy and hot in the summer, but that’s just how it goes in this part of town. The commute isn’t too bad if you beat the morning rush, though the roads get messy when the monsoon hits.
