Prabha Karpe Foundation

Prabha Karpe Foundation is based out of the Gulmohar Orchard complex, specifically in building Turquoise, which is also called A6. We are way up on the eighth floor in flat 801. Being near Rakshak Nagar in Pune 411014 means there is always something going on outside. From the balcony, you can see all the traffic and the other buildings nearby. The office itself is pretty quiet compared to the street noise. We have a few chairs and a big table where we sit and do our work. It’s not a polished business environment. You might see some files stacked in the corner or a few dusty boxes we haven't moved in a month. We don't have a big staff, so it’s usually just one or two of us here during the day. We get our mail at the main gate and the security guards know us by now. The elevators in A6 can be a bit slow in the morning when everyone is leaving for school or work. We chose this spot because it was available and it fits what we do. It’s just a regular apartment turned into a workspace. We don't have posters on the walls or any corporate branding. We just come in, do the paperwork, and head home. It is a very straightforward way to run a foundation without all the extra fuss people usually expect. It is just our daily routine in a normal neighborhood.
