Litterae Foundation

Our little office is located at 1898-A/1 in the back portion of the ground floor in Kotla Mubarak Pur. If you know New Delhi, you know Kotla can be a bit of a maze. Being in the back portion actually helps keep the street noise down a bit, which is nice when we are trying to concentrate on our work. Litterae Foundation is a name that some people struggle to spell, but we like it. The space is a bit cramped, honestly. We have boxes of books and papers in almost every corner. It’s not the kind of place that would win any design awards, but it serves its purpose for us. Most of the staff live nearby, so we walk to work and get our morning tea from the same vendor every day. He knows exactly how much sugar everyone takes. We aren't doing anything flashy here. We just handle the daily tasks and try to stay on top of the projects we have going on. The walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, and the ceiling fan makes a clicking sound on high speed, but it’s home to us. It feels good to be part of the community in this part of the city. We see a lot of foot traffic outside, and occasionally someone pops their head in to ask what we do. We just explain it simply and go back to our desks. It’s a humble setup, but it’s ours.
