Chikulapalli Foundation

Chikulapalli Foundation is located at 12-8-216/3/2. It’s a specific door number in a neighborhood that has been around for a long time. When you have a number like 12-8-216/3/2, it usually means the area has been built up over years, with houses being split or added onto. It can be a bit like a maze if you aren't from around here. We spend our days inside this space. It isn't very large, so we have to be careful about where we put things. There are stacks of paper on most surfaces and the chairs are just basic plastic ones. We don't have a big sign outside, so you really have to look for the number on the wall. The street outside is usually full of life, with people going about their business and the occasional stray dog napping in the shade. It’s a very local feel. We aren't in a high-rise building with an elevator. We are just right there on the street level or up a short flight of steps. It gets a bit hot in the summer, but we have a small fan that helps. We aren't trying to impress anyone with how the office looks. We just need a place to sit and do our work. It’s a simple, honest environment. Most of the time, we are just focused on the tasks at hand, listening to the sounds of the neighborhood coming through the window while we work through our lists and keep the daily operations moving.
