Foundation For Peace And Compassionate Leadership

We are based in Pune, specifically in Baner at a building called Oshiana. It’s on Veerabhadra Nagar road. Foundation For Peace And Compassionate Leadership is a long name, but we’re just a few folks working out of 8A. The area is quite nice with a bit of green still around. Our office doesn’t look like a place for "leaders" in the fancy sense. It’s mostly just desks, chairs, and a small kitchen area where we make way too much tea. We spend our mornings going through emails and our afternoons meeting people. It’s not a high-pressure environment. We try to keep things calm because that’s the whole point of what we do. Sometimes we sit on the floor if the chairs are full. Baner has grown a lot, and there’s always construction noise nearby, but we’ve gotten used to it. We don’t have a big staff, so everyone does a bit of everything, from cleaning up to writing reports. It’s a very hands-on way to run things. We don’t have any grand statements to make. We just show up, do the work, and try to be decent to whoever walks through the door. It’s a simple life here at the foundation. Sometimes the internet goes out and we just talk instead. It’s nice to have a space where things aren't so rushed all the time.
