Gopalan International School

If you know the Hoodi area, you know how busy it gets with all the tech companies. We are tucked away in Seetharam Palya, right behind the SAP Labs. It’s a bit of a funny spot because you have these massive office buildings right next to us in Basavanagar, but we’re in our own little world back here. The school has been part of the landscape for a while. We have the usual routine, with buses navigating the narrow lanes every morning. It can be a bit of a squeeze sometimes when the traffic picks up. Inside, we just try to keep things running smoothly. There’s always a door that needs oiling or a patch of grass that needs watering. We aren't a polished corporate office; we're just a school with hallways that see a lot of foot traffic. The staff here mostly lives around this side of town, so we’re all used to the Hoodi lifestyle. We see the planes overhead sometimes and the constant construction nearby. It’s just how this part of Bangalore is right now. We keep the classrooms ready and make sure the kids have what they need for the day. It’s honest work, and we’ve been doing it long enough that the rhythm feels natural. No big fuss, just the daily tasks that keep a school going. It gets noisy but we like the energy of the neighborhood.
