Development Spark Foundation

You can find us over at Om Sai Dham Nivas, specifically in Flat 007. We are located in the Vitava area, right near Koliwada. The Thane-Belapur Road is just a stone's throw away, so there’s always the sound of traffic in the background. It’s a pretty grounded place to work from. We aren't one of those big foundations with a glass building. It’s just a regular flat where we’ve set up some computers and desks. Most of us live nearby, so it’s an easy commute. The Development Spark Foundation is just a handful of people who wanted to get some work done in this part of town. Sometimes the internet is slow or the water delivery is late, but we manage. We spend a lot of time out in the community rather than sitting in the office all day. The building itself is a standard residential spot, nothing fancy at all. We have a small sign on the door so people know they’re in the right place. It gets a bit cramped when we have more than three people visiting at once. We usually just offer people a plastic chair and some water while we talk. It’s an honest way to work, and we prefer it that way. Being in Vitava keeps us close to the people we interact with every day. We just take things as they come and try to be helpful.
