Velmani Educational Foundation

Our place is at 5/583-B in AVS Nagerkarukankatu pudur, which is part of the Etiveerampalayam area. It is a bit of a distance if you are coming from the main city, but we like the pace out here. It is much slower than the crowded centers. The office is really just a simple room where we keep our books and records. We have some basic tables and chairs, and that is about it. It is not the kind of place you see in a magazine. We have a lot of dusty shelves and a ceiling fan that makes a bit of a clicking sound when it is on high. Most of us live nearby, so the commute isn't too bad. We spend our mornings catching up on emails and checking the post. Sometimes the internet is a bit slow, so we just take a break and sit outside for a minute. The area is mostly residential and small shops, so we know most of the people who walk past our door. We don't have a big marketing budget or anyone to manage a fancy website. We just do the work that needs doing and try to stay organized. It is a very basic operation we have going on here. We like the fact that it’s honest and straightforward. We don't try to be anything we are not. There is no corporate ladder here.
