Zealkanta International Social Foundation

The foundation is based out of Udigr, specifically on Banshelki Road. We are set up at Arjun Amratrao Talwadkar’s place, which makes it feel a lot less like a formal office and more like a community spot. If you are looking for us, you just head down that main road. It’s a local area where everyone kind of knows each other, so it’s easy to get directions if you get lost. We don’t have a big staff or anything like that. It is mostly just a few of us making sure things get done. The building is a regular house, nothing too flashy. We sit in the main room and go through our lists and plans. It gets quite warm in the afternoons, so we usually have the fans going full blast. Working from a home-based setup means things are a bit more relaxed than a corporate building in a big city. We take our time with our work and try to be helpful to anyone who comes knocking. Being on Banshelki Road means we see a lot of the local traffic going back and forth. It’s a simple setup but it works for what we need to do. We keep our files in the corner and try to stay on top of the mail. It is a quiet life for the most part, just doing what needs to happen day by day. We've been here for a while and don't plan on moving.
