Manthan -X

Manthan -X is situated on the 3rd floor, right above Gandhi Ashram in Patrakarpuram, Gomti Nagar. If you are looking for us, we are tucked away behind the police chouki. It’s a busy part of Lucknow, so there is always something going on outside. Up on the third floor, it’s a bit quieter though. We’ve been operating out of this space for some time now. It’s a lot of stairs to climb every day, but it’s a good spot once you get up there. The rooms are filled with the usual stuff you’d expect—whiteboards, markers, and plenty of chairs. We spend most of our time working with students who are trying to get through their exams. It’s not an easy job, but it’s honest work. The sunlight comes in through the windows in the afternoon and it gets quite warm, but we keep the fans going. People from all over Gomti Nagar come by. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. Word usually just travels from one family to another. We focus on the books and the syllabus. Sometimes we have tea in the small break area when things quiet down for a minute. It’s a simple life running a coaching center. We just want to make sure the students who come here have a place to study and ask questions without feeling rushed. It’s just us, the books, and the daily routine.
