Podar International College

Podar International College is located right in the Podar Education Complex on Saraswati Road. Santacruz West is one of those places in Mumbai that never really sleeps. Being at 400054, we are right in the thick of things. The college building is part of a larger group of buildings, so there’s always a lot of activity. Students are coming and going, some taking the train, others walking from nearby. It’s a busy place with a lot of stairs and hallways. We don’t really go in for big speeches about what we do. Mostly, we just make sure there are enough benches for everyone and that the teachers have their chalk and markers. The Mumbai humidity is always there, especially in the classrooms during the monsoon season. You can hear the city outside the windows while the lectures are going on. It’s a very practical environment. We have been on Saraswati Road for a long time, so people know where to find us. There’s no big mystery to how we run things. We open the gates in the morning and close them once the last student leaves in the evening. It’s a straightforward way to manage a college. The staff is local and we just get on with the job of keeping the place running. It’s just another day in Santacruz for us. We just keep our heads down and teach.
