Asar Initiatives Foundation

Asar Initiatives Foundation is located in Jalvayu Vihar, Sector 21. If you've been to Noida, you know this area is a bit more settled and quiet than the newer sectors. Our office is in A-104. It’s actually an apartment, so it has a kitchen and a bathroom, which makes it feel very comfortable. We mostly work in the living room area where we’ve set up some tables. It’s a small operation. We don't have any fancy signage or a big glass entrance. You just ring the bell and we let you in. We spend our days planning different initiatives and talking on the phone. Sometimes we go out into the neighborhood to see how things are going. We don't have a corporate hierarchy here. Everyone just does a bit of everything. One day you might be writing a report, and the next you’re out buying light bulbs for the hallway. It’s that kind of place. We have a lot of plants on the windowsill because they make the place feel less like an office. We don't have any big slogans. We just like to get things done without a lot of talking about it. Most of our meetings happen over a cup of coffee in the kitchen. It’s a practical way to work and it keeps us grounded in the local community. We like the quiet rhythm of Jalvayu Vihar.
