Swaranand Pratishthan

We are located at 40/32 Bhonde Colony, just off Karve Road. If you know the area, we are tucked away right behind Karnatak Highschool in Erandwane. It’s a very traditional part of Pune, and we like it that way. The colony is usually quiet, though you can hear the school bells and the kids playing during their breaks. Our office is in an older building, and it has that specific smell of old paper and wood. We don’t have modern cubicles or anything like that. Instead, we have heavy wooden tables and chairs that have been around for years. We spend our days dealing with various cultural and social activities. It’s a lot of coordination and talking to people from the neighborhood. We don’t use much technology beyond what’s necessary. Most things are still noted down in registers. It’s a slow and steady kind of work environment. We take a proper lunch break and often sit out in the small balcony to get some air. Being behind the high school means we are a bit shielded from the heavy traffic on Karve Road, which is a relief. We aren't trying to be the biggest or the most famous group. We just do our work because it's what we know. It feels more like a community center than a cold office. People stop by for a chat quite often, and that’s just part of our daily routine.
