Ishta Devata Sanskriti Sabhyata Foundation

We are based in the Tranquil Towers over in the Whitefields area of Kondapur. Specifically, we're in Flat 802. It's a nice enough building, though the name "Tranquil" is a bit funny because this part of Hyderabad is rarely quiet with all the construction and traffic nearby. We are the Ishta Devata Sanskriti Sabhyata Foundation. We work from this apartment, keeping things simple. It’s mostly just a few of us handling the daily tasks. We focus on cultural and traditional things that we think are important. The view from the eighth floor is okay, you can see quite a bit of the surrounding neighborhood. We don't have a reception desk or a waiting room. It’s just a living space turned into a working space. We spend our days organizing events or looking after the foundation's affairs. Kondapur has changed a lot over the years, becoming very crowded, but it’s a central spot for what we do. We try to keep our overhead low so we don't have to worry too much about extra costs. People who know us usually just call or message before coming over. It’s a very informal setup. We just want to do our work without a lot of administrative baggage. Sometimes the power goes out, but we just wait for the backup to kick in and keep going. We're just a small foundation doing our thing in this busy city. We take it one day at a time and focus on what needs to be done.
