Dyuvan Ray Foundation

Dyuvan Ray Foundation is right on Sinhgad Road, which anyone in Pune will tell you is one of the most crowded roads in the city. We are in the Shukratara Apartment, B Wing, specifically in room 106. The building is near the P.L. Deshpande garden, which is a nice landmark to have nearby. Even though the road outside is always full of cars and buses, our wing of the building stays fairly quiet. We have a few rooms where we keep our supplies and do our paperwork. It’s an older apartment, so the layout is a bit odd for an office, but we’ve gotten used to it. The Sr No 120A/B area has everything we need within walking distance. We often go out for a quick snack at the stalls near the garden. The office itself is pretty basic. We have some plastic chairs for visitors and a couple of old wooden desks for us. It’s not the kind of place where you’ll find glass walls or carpets. It’s just a regular Pune office where we handle our daily business. Sometimes the water pressure in the building is a bit low, and we have to remind the watchman about the pump. It’s those little things that make it feel like a real place. We just focus on the task at hand and keep things simple. It gets a little dusty because of the main road, but we clean up every morning.
