Venus Engineering Works

Our shop, Venus Engineering Works, is at 104, G.I.D.C. on Odhav Road. If you know the G.I.D.C. area, you know it’s mostly factories and workshops, so it’s pretty loud and industrial. We’ve got our machinery set up and it’s usually humming from early morning. It’s not the cleanest place in the world because of all the oil and metal shavings, but that’s engineering for you. We don’t wear suits here. Most of us are in work clothes that have seen better days. We’ve been at this location for quite a while now and we know most of the neighbors. We do a lot of repairs and custom work that keeps us on our toes. Sometimes a machine breaks down and we have to spend the whole night fixing it, but that’s part of the job. There’s no fancy lobby or receptionist. You just walk into the main bay and talk to whoever is free. We prefer it that way. It’s straightforward and practical. Odhav Road is always busy with trucks, so there’s a lot of dust, but we’re used to it. We just focus on the jobs we have and making sure the parts are right. It’s a tough environment but we’ve got a good group of people working here. It’s just a regular engineering yard doing what needs to be done every day.
