Privtave Environmental Consultancy

Our office is at F 8 Saket Apartment in Patwardhan Baug, Erandwane. It’s a nice part of Pune, quite green compared to the rest of the city. We do consultancy work, mostly focused on the environment. It’s just a small group of us in a converted apartment. There’s a lot of paper and maps lying around. We spend a lot of time out in the field, so the office is often half-empty. When we are all here, it’s quite lively. We don't have a fancy board room. We usually just sit around the dining table to discuss projects. The neighbors are nice, and it feels more like a home than a workplace. I think that helps us think better. Erandwane has changed a lot, but this little corner is still peaceful. We try to be helpful to the people who hire us. We don’t use a lot of big words or complicated reports if we can help it. We just tell people what they need to know. It’s a bit of a trek up the stairs since the building is older. We’ve been here for a while and don't plan on moving. It’s a good, honest way to run a consultancy. We take our work seriously but we don't take ourselves too seriously. It’s a comfortable, practical space for us to tackle the environmental issues that come our way every single week.
