Yukti Microfinance Foundation

You can find Yukti Microfinance Foundation over at House Number 2/1355 in the Mission Compound. This is in Saharanpur, right in the middle of town with the 247001 zip code. We’ve been working out of this house for a while. It’s a practical location for a microfinance foundation because people can find us easily. We don't have a big glass office building. It’s just a regular house where we’ve set up some desks and computers. Saharanpur is a busy place, and there is always someone coming by to ask about how the foundation works. We don't use a lot of business jargon when we talk to folks. We just explain things in plain English or the local language. It’s a small team here. We spend a lot of time checking documents and meeting with people from the neighborhood. The Mission Compound area is usually quite active. Sometimes it gets a bit noisy outside, but we don't mind. It feels like we are part of the real world here, not stuck in some corporate tower. We handle the finance side of things as best as we can. It’s not always perfect, but we try to be honest and helpful. We don't have any big marketing plans. We just focus on the people who walk through our door every day. It’s a steady way to work and we like the local feel. People know us by our house number now, which is nice.
