Nilgiri Hills Education Foundation

We are tucked away on the second floor of Kay Kay Towers. That’s at number 18 on 17th Cross in HSR Layout, 7th Sector. If you know Bangalore, you know HSR is full of startups and offices, but we try to keep things a bit more grounded. Nilgiri Hills Education Foundation isn't about fancy tech or big investments. We’re mostly focused on educational stuff that we think needs attention. The office isn't very large. It’s got a few rooms where we keep our files and meet up to talk about what needs to happen next. Sometimes the lift in the building is a bit temperamental, so we end up taking the stairs. It’s good exercise, I guess. We aren't trying to impress anyone with a sleek lobby or receptionist. Usually, whoever is closest to the door just opens it. We spend our time looking at school materials and talking to teachers or parents who might need some help. It’s practical work. We’ve been in this part of Bangalore for a bit now and we like the neighborhood. There are plenty of places to grab a quick lunch nearby. We aren't a corporate machine. We’re just a small group of people who think education is worth the effort. We keep our heads down and try to do a good job with the resources we have. We do not have any glossy brochures to hand out, just some printed sheets of paper.
