Mookerji Foundation

Our office is at 407 Contour Road in Gokulam, Mysuru. It’s in the 3rd Stage, over in V. V. Mohalla. Mysore is a bit slower-paced than Bangalore, and we like that. The Mookerji Foundation is run out of this quiet spot. We have been here for a good while. The road is usually pretty calm, except when people are heading to the yoga studios nearby. Our space is just a regular building with some offices inside. We don’t have a lot of bells and whistles. It’s mostly just us, some bookshelves, and our workstations. We spend our days going through files and talking to people who need our help. It’s a very local feel. We know the people on our street and the shop owners around the corner. We don't use a lot of corporate talk here. If something isn't working, we just say so and try to fix it. Our foundation is small, so everyone does a bit of everything. One day you might be filing papers, and the next you're helping out with a project in the community. It’s hands-on work. We don't have a big budget for fancy things, so we make do with what we have. It feels more honest that way. We’re just a group of people doing our best in a nice part of Mysore. We usually close up around six and head home. It’s a steady, quiet life for the team here. We try to keep the windows open for the breeze.
