Aghub Foundation

Aghub Foundation is based at the PJTSAU campus in Rajendranagar. Being inside the university grounds is nice because there are a lot of trees and it’s much quieter than the city center. We are in the AO Building, specifically the Centre of Innovation & Agri-Entrepreneurship. It’s a bit of a walk from the main gate if you don't have a vehicle, so we usually tell people to bring an umbrella if they’re walking in the sun. The building is quite old-fashioned with those high ceilings and big windows that let in a lot of light. We have a lot of space, but it’s mostly filled with desks and whiteboards covered in scribbled notes. You can hear the birds outside most of the morning. It feels like a very academic environment, which makes sense given where we are located. We see students and researchers passing by the windows all the time. Our daily routine is pretty simple. We come in, check what needs to be done, and spend a lot of time talking to folks who come in with new ideas about farming and technology. It’s not a high-pressure office with people in suits. Most of us wear regular clothes and just get on with it. Sometimes the canteen nearby is the best place to find us if we aren't at our desks. It’s a good spot to work because it’s calm and steady.
