Garware Technical Fibres Foundation

Our office is tucked away in the MIDC area of Akurdi, right at D-1 on Plot Number 11. If you know this part of Pune, you know it’s mostly factories and industrial sheds. That’s where Garware Technical Fibres Foundation sits. It’s a busy place with trucks coming and going all the time. The air always smells a bit like manufacturing, which we’ve gotten used to. We don't have a big sign or anything flashy. Inside, it’s mostly just a workspace where we figure out how to handle our foundation work. Since we are in an industrial zone, we follow the same rhythm as the plants around us. We start early and usually wrap up when the shift changes. It can get pretty noisy with the machines nearby, but it feels like we are right in the middle of where things actually happen. We don't spend money on fancy furniture or decorations. Most of our chairs are a bit old, and the desks have seen better days. But it works for us. We spend our time looking at technical stuff and how we can support the community around the industrial belt. It’s honest work and we don’t try to make it sound like more than it is. We just show up, do our jobs, and go home like everyone else in Akurdi.
