Chandan K Sen Foundation

Our foundation operates out of the ITC R-831 area in the MIDC part of Rabale. We are actually located right by Dr. Mahajan’s Hospital. It’s an industrial zone, so it’s not exactly the prettiest place to work, but it’s very practical for the things we need to get done. Chandan K Sen started this, and we’ve been based in this corner of Navi Mumbai for a good while now. There’s always a lot of trucks and activity around here during the day because of all the factories and big warehouses. Inside the office, it’s a bit quieter than the street. We handle all the administrative side of things for the foundation from here. It’s a small team, and we all know each other’s families and stories. We don't really do big meetings or anything flashy with slideshows. Usually, it's just one person on the phone and another person filing papers or checking the mail. Being near the hospital means we see a lot of people coming and going every day. It reminds us why we’re here doing this work in the first place. Some days the heat in Rabale is pretty intense, but we have a small fan that helps keep us cool. We keep the kettle going for tea and coffee throughout the morning. It’s not a big corporate operation, just a local foundation trying to stay on top of its daily responsibilities. We’ve grown accustomed to the background noise of the industrial area. It’s just a normal day for us, working through whatever comes our way.
