Hemrl High Energy Material Research Lab Pune

Being located at Tharkute Chowl in Pashan means we are right in the middle of a busy part of Pune. Our space is Room No 3, Sr No 124, so it’s not exactly a massive facility like you’d see in a movie. It’s more of a hands-on environment where things are a bit cramped but we know where everything is kept. Researching high energy materials takes up a lot of concentration, and doing it from Surarwadi gives us a local feel that you don't get in big industrial parks. Those desks are often covered in papers and equipment that’s seen better days. We’ve been at this address for a while and the locals know us as the science folks in the chawl. Dust from the road work nearby gets in sometimes, but that’s just Pune life for you. A reception desk or a shiny lobby doesn't exist here. You just walk in and see us working. It's a bit of a walk from the main transport links, but the area is quiet enough for the kind of thinking we need to do. Power flutters sometimes, so we have to be careful with our setups. Keeping the research moving forward is the goal without making too much of a fuss. It’s a small operation, but we stay busy from morning until late evening. This room has seen a lot of experiments over the years and we just keep at it.
