Thriveni Academy Foundation & Development Centre

Our office is right in the middle of Nariman Point, inside Dalamal Towers. We are on the fifth floor in room 514. Being on FPJ Marg means we are surrounded by a lot of big companies and people in suits. Thriveni Academy Foundation & Development Centre is our small space in this busy area. We aren't a huge institution with a whole floor to ourselves. It’s just a few rooms where we do our foundation work and development projects. The elevators in this building are always packed, especially around lunchtime. We don’t have a fancy reception or expensive art on the walls. It’s a very basic office with some metal desks and old filing cabinets. The water cooler makes a weird noise, and we usually have stacks of files waiting to be sorted. We’ve been here for several years, so the security guards and the tea man know us by name. Sometimes we take a walk down to the sea when we need a break from the paperwork. It is a lot of hard work and phone calls most days. We don't do big presentations or have polished speeches. We just handle the daily tasks that come our way. It gets a little crowded when we have more than three visitors at once, but we just pull up some extra plastic chairs. It is a practical, no-nonsense place to work. We try to keep things organized despite the limited space we have.
