The Academy

The Academy is situated at M-1, Plot No 1, on North Ambazari Road in the Shivaji Nagar area of Nagpur. We are sitting right opposite the Lad Bus Stand, which is lucky because it makes it very easy for everyone to get here. The building is a bit older, but it serves its purpose. We have a small office space where we do all the administrative bits and pieces. There is usually a lot of paper everywhere because we are always printing out something or other. The furniture is just simple wooden desks and some plastic chairs that have seen better days. We don't really worry about having a polished look; we just want a place where people can sit and learn something. The traffic on North Ambazari Road can be quite loud, especially in the evenings when the buses are pulling in and out of the stand. We usually have a few people working here at once, just managing the phone and talking to whoever walks in through the door. It is a bit of a small community here. Sometimes we stay late to finish up the paperwork or plan for the next week. It’s just a normal, local business running out of a busy corner of the city. We don't try to be anything we aren't, just a place that’s been here for a while doing its thing day after day.
