In 2007, Punita Mehta engaged with and worked on an office design project with Nimisha Desai who runs a feminist NGO by the name of Olakh in Gujarat. This engagement came to her due to a student who was actually Nimisha’s daughter, and Punita fondly recalls the entire association and the work that went into designing the office space. This led to further projects with organisations like SEWA Rural, similarly in the field of NGO spaces, the details of which she shares briefly. She mentions how she gained immense learning and insights through her work with them, specifically on ethics, community work, quality, and commitment, sustaining values, amongst other things. She comments on how this entire association gave her life a new purpose and allowed her opportunities to enable even her students to start off their careers, since some of them had recently begun their own practices. Her association with them has also sustained till the present day and she notes how she is still their go-to person. She also shares her experience of working closely throughout this engagement with Anil Desai, who was a critical member and founder of the organisation, and commends his efforts and personhood while sharing anecdotes she recalls about him and his work ethic. Furthermore, she shares the ways it impacted the way she worked and mentored people in her own office, and goes on to describe in detail her approach to future projects. She also talks about several other institutional engagements she had over the years after retiring from her job at MSU, taking workshops, and developing courses etc. Concluding the session, she shares some memorable incidents from her teaching experience.
