Sanjhi Sikhiya Foundation

Sanjhi Sikhiya Foundation is right in the middle of things at Dilkusha Market in Jalandhar City. We are on the top floor, units 11, 12, and 13. Being in the market means it’s always loud and busy downstairs, but up here it’s a bit more manageable. The climb up is good exercise since we are on the top floor. We’ve been in this spot for some time now. The office is full of books, papers, and old folders. It’s not a minimalist space; it’s a working space. We have people coming in and out all day. Jalandhar is a fast-paced city, and Dilkusha Market is right in the heart of it. We don't use fancy titles or wear suits. Most of us just wear what's comfortable for a long day of work. We handle our own tea and cleaning. It’s a grassroots kind of feeling here. We aren't trying to be a big corporate entity. We just want to do the work we set out to do in this city. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit by the window and wait for it to come back. It’s just part of life here. We don't spend time on branding or making things look perfect. We just focus on the tasks we have on our desks today. We usually stay until the market starts closing up downstairs. It’s a busy life but we wouldn't have it any other way.
