Chinthanasri Foundation

Chinthanasri Foundation operates out of the ground floor at number 110 on the 2nd Main Road in the NGEF Layout of Nagarbhavi 2nd Stage. Being on the ground floor is great because it’s easy for people to find us without having to hunt for an elevator or climb stairs. The area is a nice mix of homes and small offices, so it feels like a real neighborhood. We have a few rooms where we handle our daily operations. It’s mostly desks, filing cabinets, and a few chairs for visitors. The atmosphere is pretty relaxed; we aren't the type to wear suits or have formal meetings for no reason. We just sit down, figure out what needs to be done for the day, and get to it. Nagarbhavi is a growing area, but our street is relatively calm, which we appreciate. Sometimes we get birds nesting near the windows, and you can hear them throughout the day. We have our routines, like who makes the first pot of tea and who checks the mail. It’s a very human way to run a foundation. We’ve made this space our own over the years, and though it’s a bit cramped at times with all the records we keep, it works for us. We just focus on the practical side of things, making sure everything is in order and everyone knows their role. By the time we leave in the evening, the streetlights are usually just coming on.
