Rig Education Foundation

Rig Education Foundation is tucked away at 10 Tolstoy Marg in New Delhi. It’s an old part of the city, and the buildings have that heavy, historic feel to them. We’re right in the heart of things, which is nice because it’s easy for people to find us, even if the traffic on Tolstoy Marg can be a real headache in the afternoons. Inside, it’s mostly shelves of books and old files. We started this foundation because we felt that the local kids and even some of the adults needed a bit more support with their learning that they weren't getting elsewhere. It’s not a fancy school with a playground; it’s more of a place where people come to get advice or use the resources we’ve managed to pull together. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the ceiling fans squeak a bit when they’re on high, but it’s a comfortable enough place to work. We don’t have a big marketing team telling people how great we are. Usually, someone just hears about us from a friend and walks in. We try to keep things simple. If we can help someone understand a lesson or find a book they need, then it’s a good day. It’s just how we operate here in the city center, one person at a time, without any of that corporate polish.
