One Degree Institute Of Creative Minds

We are set up in Janbo Bunglow, which is on Kra 16, Pettah High School Road in Thiruvananthapuram. It’s actually a nice spot because we are right opposite the High School Pettah, so there’s always a lot of energy around when the school bell rings. Being in a bungalow gives it a different feel than a typical office building; it feels more like a home than a school, which I think the students appreciate. We call it One Degree Institute Of Creative Minds, but mostly people just know us as the place in the bungalow near the school. Inside, there’s always some kind of project going on. It’s a bit messy sometimes with all the drawings and creative materials scattered about, but that’s just how we work. The rooms are fairly large and the old windows let in a bit of the Thiruvananthapuram rain smell during the monsoon. We don't have a big staff or a fancy reception area. Usually, you just walk in and see someone working at a desk or a group of kids talking about a new idea. It’s a very hands-on kind of place. We spend a lot of time here, even on weekends sometimes, just because there is always something to finish. It’s not polished or corporate at all. It’s just a space where we try to be creative and help others do the same in a relaxed environment without any pressure.
