Natedu Welfare Foundation

Natedu Welfare Foundation operates out of Flat No 22 in the B5 building of Suncity. This is in Phase II, right off Sinhagad Road in Wadgaon, Pune. It’s a residential area, so our office is actually a converted flat. We find it’s a lot more comfortable than being in a cold office block downtown. We have our desks set up in the main room and use the other space for storage and meetings. Since we are in 411051, we are part of the local community here. You’ll usually find someone in the office from Monday to Friday. We aren't a huge organization with hundreds of employees, just a dedicated group of people trying to keep things running. The flat is usually quiet, except for when the phone starts ringing or we’re having a bit of a debate about how to handle a project. We do our own filing, make our own tea, and just get on with the work. It’s a practical way to run a foundation without spending too much on overhead. Most of our neighbors in Suncity know us and what we do. We like being based in Wadgaon because it’s easy for us to get around the city when we need to. It’s a simple setup but it works perfectly for the kind of work we handle on a daily basis. We have been here long enough that the security guards at Phase II know us by name, which is always nice.
