Club Amida

Club Amida is located on the fourth level of Abhiruchi Mall on Sinhagad Road in Anand Nagar, Pune. Being up on the fourth floor gives us a bit of a break from the noise of the shopping crowds below. The mall is a big landmark in this part of Pune, so people usually don't have much trouble finding us once they get inside. We have a fair amount of space here, and we use it for all sorts of activities. It’s not a polished or high-end luxury spot, but it’s comfortable and has everything people need when they come to visit. We spend a lot of time organizing the different areas and making sure things are tidy, though with kids and families coming through, it doesn't stay that way for long. The staff here are mostly local folks who know the regulars by name. We have our routines, like checking the equipment every morning and making sure the lights are all working. Sometimes the mall’s air conditioning is a bit too cold, so we tell people to bring a light sweater. It’s a practical place for people in the Anand Nagar area to spend some time. We aren’t trying to compete with the big city clubs; we just want to provide a decent space for the community. It’s a simple operation, and we like it that way. Most of us have been working here since the mall opened.
