Population Services International-India

Our office is tucked away in Jaipur, specifically over at Mr. Shiv Mangal Singh Rathore’s place in Nandpuri. It’s in the Hawa Sadak area, near the 22-Godown. If you know the neighborhood, it’s pretty easy to find. We’ve been operating out of this spot for a while now. It’s a bit of a busy corner of the city, but we like being here. Inside, it’s mostly just files and desks and people talking on the phone. We work on health-related stuff and social programs across the region. It isn't a flashy setup with glass walls or anything. It feels more like a workspace where people actually get things done. We have people coming in and out all day, mostly staff and folks we work with on different projects. The Rajasthan sun gets hot, so the coolers are always running in the summer months. We keep things pretty simple here. There’s no big hierarchy or anything; we just divide the tasks and get on with it. Some days are slow and we just do paperwork, other days everyone is rushing to meet a deadline for a report. It’s a local office and we try to stay grounded. We aren't trying to be something we aren't. We just focus on the work assigned to this branch and try to keep things moving. It’s just a normal day-to-day operation for us here in Jaipur, nothing more to it really.
