Gajraj Micro Credit Foundation

Gajraj Micro Credit Foundation operates from our office in Agra. We are on the first floor of house number M.I.G-154 in Taj Nagari, Phase-I. Tajganj is a well-known area, mostly because of the tourism, but we are tucked away in a residential part. The office is basically a converted floor of a house. It feels more like a home than a business spot, which suits us just fine. We have some desks set up and a lot of filing cabinets. Dealing with credit means there is always paper everywhere. We spend most of our mornings sorting through applications and talking to folks who walk in. Agra gets very dusty, so we are constantly cleaning the windows and the tables. The neighbors are nice, and it’s generally a friendly atmosphere. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. It’s just a few of us making sure the numbers add up. Sometimes the electricity goes out in the afternoon, so we just sit and wait or work by the window light. It’s a simple way of doing things. We’ve been at this location for a bit now. People in Taj Nagari know where to find us if they need to chat. We aren't trying to be the biggest, just trying to stay busy and helpful in our own way. It’s just a regular local operation run by people who live right here.
