Palak Vipul Shah Institute

Our institute is based in the Paldi area of Ahmedabad. We are quite close to the Dharnidhar Derasar, which is a very well-known temple around here. Most people use the temple as a landmark when they are coming to see us. It is a pretty residential part of town, so it is a bit quieter than the main commercial hubs. We do not have a giant building, just a modest space where we can sit with our students and go over their lessons. My name is on the board outside, but inside it is just a normal workspace. We have a few tables pushed together and some chairs that we move around depending on how many people show up. The floor is made of stone and stays cool even when it is very hot outside. I usually keep a few notebooks and pens ready on the main table. There is no big staff here, just a couple of us who handle everything from answering the phone to cleaning the floors at the end of the day. We have been in Paldi for a long time and we like the neighborhood. It is easy for people to find us once they get to the Derasar. We do not use any fancy technology or big screens, just paper, pencils, and a lot of talking. It is a very direct way of doing things and it works for the families who live around here.
