Poona Electric & Electronics Association

We are located on the third floor of Dedekar Sadan, right in the heart of Budhwar Peth. It’s an old building, and the stairs can be a bit of a climb if you aren’t used to them. Being opposite the Farakhane Police Station makes it easy to give directions, at least. Our rooms are numbered 6 and 7, and they’re usually filled with files, old ledgers, and a lot of papers related to our members. It’s not a shop where you buy lightbulbs; it’s more of a place where people in the trade come to talk and sort out business stuff. The fans are almost always clicking as they spin, and the windows look out over a very busy street. You can hear the horns and the people shouting down below all day long. It gets pretty cramped during our meetings when everyone tries to fit into the main room. We’ve been around for a long time, so the office has that old-school feel to it. The wooden desks are scarred, and the tea comes in small glasses from the shop downstairs. We spend a lot of time answering the phone and writing things down by hand. It’s a bit slow-paced compared to the modern offices in the new parts of the city, but it works for us. We just handle the administrative side of things for the local electric community and try to keep things organized.
