Leichal Taret Foundation

Our foundation is located in flat D-603 at Orange County 2. This is over on the Baner Pashan Link Road in Pune. It is one of those newer areas of the city that has grown a lot in the last few years. There are a lot of high-rise buildings and tech parks nearby, but we are just tucked away in a residential complex. The flat isn't huge, but it is enough for the work we do. Most of the team lives nearby, so we often walk or take a quick rickshaw to get here. Pune weather is usually nice, so we keep the windows open. We are not some big international organization. We are just a group of people who wanted to start something here in our own neighborhood. We spend a lot of time on the phone or on our laptops, trying to figure things out. Sometimes we have meetings in the building’s common area if the flat gets too crowded. It is a very informal setup. We don't have a reception desk or someone to answer the phones with a scripted greeting. If you call, you just get one of us. We try to be practical and solve problems as they appear. It is not always smooth, but we are learning as we go. That is just how it is for us.
