Pride Business Network Foundation

Kandivli West is our home, specifically in the Shree Gurukrupa SRA CHS building. Room 202 is our little space on Bandarpakhadi Road. Bandarpakhadi Road stays very busy with families and small corner shops everywhere. Basically, we just try to get local business owners to talk to each other more often. The Pride Business Network Foundation is not a big corporate network with a huge budget. Big budgets are not necessary for what we do. It is more about the guy running the local hardware store or the lady with the small garment business. The building is a typical SRA project, so it is very lived-in and feels like a real community. Noise does not bother us at all. There is always someone talking in the hallway or kids running around the stairs. Desks are simple here, and we use a lot of handwritten notes to keep track of our meetings. Building a sense of belonging for local people is the main goal. This Kandivli spot is where the actual work happens, right at the street level. We are not interested in being some high-flying foundation with a glass office. We just like seeing the local business folks get a bit of a boost by knowing their neighbors better. Dahanukar Wadi has a lot of potential, and we just spend our days trying to help people connect and share their experiences over a cup of hot tea.
