Vive Vidya Foundation

Our space is in SR Nagar, which everyone knows is a very busy hub in Hyderabad. We are up on the sixth floor of the Rajarajeswari Apartments, in Flat No-601. The building number is 7-1-621/81. Being up that high means we get a decent view of the city. It’s a bit quieter than the street level. SR Nagar is famous for its students and hostels. There is always a lot of energy in the air. The 500038 area is always bustling. Our apartment isn't huge. We’ve made it work for the Vive Vidya Foundation. We have some desks set up in the main room. We use old computers for the paperwork. It feels more like a home office. Sometimes the lift in the building takes a while. We end up waiting around and talking to the other residents. We aren't trying to be a big, slick organization. We’re just a small team working out of an apartment. We don't have any flashy signs. It’s just a place where we get things done and try to help out. It’s a practical setup for a city like Hyderabad. It keeps us right in the middle of everything. We keep some plants on the balcony, though they struggle a bit in the summer heat. Most days, we’re just happy to have a place to work and some good coffee to keep us going through the afternoon rush.
