Panchkrosh Foundation

We are located on the first floor of the Shivprasad building in Shivaji Nagar. It’s part of the Shivaji Co-op Housing Society, tucked away just off Senapati Bapat Road. If you know Pune, you know SB Road is always a mess of traffic, but once you turn into our society, it actually gets pretty quiet. We like it that way. The office is number 18, and it’s a pretty standard space. We don’t have a fancy lobby or a receptionist greeting people. It’s just us working at our desks. There’s usually some stacks of papers and folders everywhere because we have a lot to keep track of. Being in Shivaji Nagar is handy because it’s so central. We can get to most parts of the city without too much trouble, though parking around here is a total nightmare. We started the Panchkrosh Foundation because we wanted to do something for the community. We aren't trying to be some massive organization. We just do our work and try to stay out of the spotlight. Sometimes the office gets a bit dusty and the fan makes a weird clicking noise, but it’s our home base. We don't spend much on advertising or making things look pretty. Most of our members are just local people who care. We think it’s better to spend our time on the actual projects rather than making fancy brochures or websites.
