Abhyudaya Charitable Foundation

Our place is tucked away in Wilson Garden, specifically on 14th Cross near the 6th Main. If you have ever been to this part of Bengaluru, you know it is a busy spot with lots of old houses and small businesses. We are at No 4/1, SF, which is easy to find if you know the landmark. It is a bit of a walk from the main road, but we like it that way because it is slightly quieter. The office is nothing special, just some desks, chairs, and a lot of papers piled up. We spend most of our mornings drinking tea and going over what needs to be done for the day. Sometimes the traffic outside gets really loud, especially during the evening rush, but we just close the windows and keep at it. Wilson Garden has a very specific feel to it, very different from the newer parts of the city. We have neighbors who have lived here for forty years, and they always stop by to say hello. It feels like a real community. We don’t have a fancy lobby or a receptionist. Usually, whoever is closest to the door just opens it. We are just a small group of people trying to manage the foundation work without making a big fuss about it. It gets hot in the afternoons, so the fan is always on full blast. We just keep things simple and practical here.
