Kumar Career Academy

Our place is at 103 in the Sarap Building, which is right on Ashram Road in Ahmedabad. If you know where Gujarat Vidyapith is, we are quite close to that. We’re also directly opposite Navjeevan Press, so that helps people find the entrance easily. The building itself has been around for a while and shows its age, but it’s a solid place to work from. Every morning, we come in and start by wiping down the desks because the dust from the main road always finds its way inside. It’s a busy area, and you can hear the constant honking of cars and rickshaws through the windows all day. We have a simple setup here with basic wooden benches and a few chairs for the staff. The walls are a plain off-white, and we don't really bother with much decoration. Most of our day is spent handling papers and talking to people who stop by to ask about schedules. We don't have a fancy reception desk; it’s just a small table near the door. Sometimes the ceiling fan makes a bit of a clicking noise, but we’ve gotten used to it over the months. In the afternoons, the sun hits the front windows pretty hard, so it gets warm. We usually go downstairs for tea at the small stall nearby when things get quiet. It’s just a regular, working-class spot where we focus on getting through the daily list of things that need doing.
