Pune Construction Engineering Research Foundation

Pune Construction Engineering Research Foundation is based in Erandwane, specifically at number 6. It’s a place where we deal with a lot of technical stuff every day. We have piles of research papers and engineering books everywhere you look. It isn’t the neatest office you’ve ever seen, but we know where everything is located. Erandwane is a good part of Pune to be in. We spend our days looking at data and thinking about how things are built and how they should be. It’s not the kind of work that makes for a flashy story. We have some old models of buildings on the shelves that have gathered a bit of dust over the years. The chairs aren’t the most comfortable in the world, but they do the job for us. We don’t have any marketing people or anyone to make us look polished. We’re just a bunch of people interested in construction and engineering. Sometimes we have long debates about small technical details that probably wouldn't matter to anyone else. We’ve been at Erandwane 6 for years now. The building is older, and the windows rattle a bit when it’s windy outside. We drink a lot of tea and look at a lot of blueprints. It’s a quiet kind of existence. We aren’t here to sell anything; we’re just here to do the research and see what we can find out. It’s practical, grounded work that we’ve been doing for a long time.
