Bharat Manthan Foundation

Our office is located in the Sai Niwas Laxmi Building on the second floor. If you know Mumbai, you know how these old buildings are, but we like it here. It’s unit 15 on Plot 16. Bharat Manthan Foundation is basically just a group of us working on local projects. We don't have a lot of fancy furniture or a big lobby. Most of the time, the desks are covered in papers and we’re drinking tea while figuring out the next steps for our programs. It’s pretty quiet up on the second floor compared to the street below. We've been here for a bit and the neighbors are all good people. We try to stay busy with the work and not worry too much about the office decor. It’s a practical setup. We handle a lot of different tasks, whatever seems most urgent at the time. Sometimes we stay late when there's a lot to do, but nobody really complains. It feels good to have a dedicated space in the city. The pincode is 400028 if you're trying to mail us something. It's not a huge foundation with hundreds of employees, just a handful of dedicated folks. We keep things simple and honest. We don’t use big words to describe what we do. We just show up every day and get to work on whatever needs attention. That's pretty much who we are. It’s a lot of paperwork, but we get through it eventually.
