Arthniti Foundation

Dadar East is a place with a lot of soul, and we are right there on Dadasaheb Phalke Road. Our office is in Framroze Court, on the first floor in Office No. 2. The Arthniti Foundation is a small operation with just a few of us working here. A small operation means we do not have a lot of staff, just a couple of people interested in how the local economy affects regular families. The building has a lot of character but definitely needs a new coat of paint on the outside. Proximity to the city center makes it a good spot for us. Thane is not too far by train, and the station is just a short walk away. Reports and books are usually piled up on the wooden tables. It is not flashy like a modern business office. We do not have fancy leather chairs or glass desks. Dadar East stays packed with people and street vendors all day long. Outside on the road, the noise never really stops. Sometimes the smell of vada pav comes in through the open window when the breeze is right. We have been at this spot for a while now. Work is the focus here, not making the office look perfect for visitors. It is a local place for local thinking, and we are happy in our little Dadar corner. Most days involve just reading through papers and talking about how to make things work better for the community.
