Pritha Foundation

Our office is tucked away at 161/116 on C.Y. Chintamani Road. It’s right in the middle of Darbhanga Colony here in Allahabad. If you’ve ever walked around this part of town, you know it has a lot of history. The streets are a bit narrow and people are always moving about. We’ve been at this address for a bit and it feels like home to the staff. Inside, it’s mostly just desks, chairs, and a lot of registers. We handle things as they come. Sometimes the fan makes a clicking sound but we’ve gotten used to it over the months. We usually start early before the sun gets too hot. Most of the people working here live close by, so we walk or take a cycle to the office. It isn’t some big corporate building with glass walls. It’s just a regular house that we converted into our workspace. There’s a small tea stall at the corner where we go when we need a break from the paperwork. We don't do much in the way of big announcements or fancy meetings. We just sit down, look at what needs to be done for the day, and do it. The local postman knows us by name now. It’s a simple setup and that’s why we like it. We focus on the work instead of how the office looks to outsiders. It’s practical and it works for us.
