Shivatarak Foundation

Shivatarak Foundation is run out of a flat in Sree Laxmi Apartments. We are up on the third floor, specifically flat T3. Dammaigudda is a growing area in Rangareddy, and it has a different feel than the middle of Hyderabad. It’s a bit more relaxed here, though the roads can get dusty when there’s construction nearby. Our office isn't very large, just a regular apartment layout that we turned into a workspace. We have some desks pushed against the walls and a few cabinets for all our records. Most of our day is spent coordinating things over the phone or meeting with people from the surrounding neighborhoods. Being in a residential building means we have to be mindful of the noise, so it’s usually pretty calm. Sometimes the water supply in the building is a bit patchy, but that’s just how things are around here. We’ve grown used to the rhythm of this place over the years. We don't have any big signs or flashy lights outside. Just a small plate on the door so people know they’ve reached the right foundation. It’s an honest, small-scale operation, and we like it that way because it keeps us close to the local community. There’s always someone stopping by to drop off papers or ask a quick question about what we are doing lately.
