Grido Correspondence College

Grido Correspondence College is in the Bidralappa Building, right across from the Guru Swamy Flour Mill. We are on the 8th Cross of St. Antonys School Road in Ramamurthy Nagar, Bengaluru. You can often smell the grain being ground at the mill while we are sitting in the office. It’s a busy part of town with a lot of traffic and people walking by. Our office is on the first floor, and the stairs are a bit narrow. We handle a lot of mail and phone calls because of the nature of correspondence courses. There are stacks of envelopes and application forms all over the desks. It isn't the most organized-looking place, but we know where everything is. Students stop by occasionally to drop off papers or ask questions about their registration. We spend a lot of time on the computer or filling out ledgers by hand. Bengaluru can get quite rainy, so we often have umbrellas drying near the door. The building itself is older, and the tiles in the hallway are a bit chipped. We don't have a big reception area, just a couple of chairs for people to wait. The staff has been here for years, and we’ve gotten used to the constant hum of the city outside. It’s just a place where we help people get their paperwork sorted so they can study from home. We keep things simple and focus on the forms.
