| Ok its time for a bit of fun I think. Our version of Where's Waldo perhaps. :)
ADI lists their address as:
32/2, 6th floor, Ashoka Plaza, Vadgaonsheri, Pune- Ahmednagar Road Pune 411 014, Maharashtra, India.
Now I've played around a bit with trying to find this on a map, and try further to get a Google satellite view. One thing making it difficult is it seems that addresses in India seem to be listed more casually than in some other places. Like the road for instance. If you look at some online maps Pune-Ahmednagar Road is listed as Ahmednagar Road, or Ahmednager Road, or Nagar Road. And 32/2 is it seems called a "Survey Number".
My best guess so far is that they share space in this building:
http://www.isbm.ac.in/pune-campus.html http://www.isbm.ac.in/contact-us.html
Though I'm not sure, and its hard to tell if its 6 stories high anyway.
Just for reference, when they were Ruksun they were at a different address:
http://www.ruksun.com/html/aboutruksun_contact.htm
So I'm curious to see what others can come up with. :)

Hang on, I'm going to walk down the hall and go ask some one from India...... I'll have an edit in a little while.
Ok, here's the basics....
Country : India State : Maharashtra City : Pune City Section : Vadgaonsheri Street : Ahmednagar Road Address : 32/2, 6th floor, Ashoka Plaza Zip Code: 411 014
Here's a site with a picture of Ashoka Plaza.... Ashoka Plaza Pune India
Also I find error with the street address. Ashoka is listed on Pune-Nagar Road. Searches for Ahmednagar Road are a bit ambiguious. Perhaps its a small side street near by or the name has change recently?
More coming.... Last edited by Plaz on 24-May-2007 at 05:17 PM. Last edited by Plaz on 24-May-2007 at 05:16 PM. Last edited by Plaz on 24-May-2007 at 04:46 PM.

Ok that City Section piece helps. Yahoo! Maps seems to know the "Vadgaonsheri" section as the "Wadgaon Sheri" section. It seems to be the same place, as Ahmednagar Road appears to be the northern border of that neighborhood.
Google Maps definately lists Ahmednagar Road though instead as "Nagar Road".
Yahoo! Maps though seems to have trouble with 32/2. The closest I can get it so far is this:

Thats is the understatement of the year!
A couple of years ago I lived in India for a bit. The house number was 53. Next door was 55 and on the other side of the street it was 7. What is really weird about these numbers is that the place where I lived only had 3 houses...

The building is named after Ashoka (a Buddhist king who is famous for his open minded approach to diplomacy and his acceptance of others). The architecture is interesting. |

| I may have found it. It's not easy though.
Go to the address I posted below and then zoom out one level. The default link zooms in too close and I don't know how to change it. Once you zoom out look left of center for the roof top that seems to match the picture every one's seen already. It's directly left and down the street from Karan Park. Let me know what you think.

Maybe the other numbers were assigned to ants and cows? (ducks)_________________ "If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you." - Oscar Wilde |

| @fairlanefastback What surprises me is that no one has tested out the phone number. It would be interesting to see if someone actually picks up the phone or if it exists at all. |

If they have a public phone number, it might be easier to reverse that to get a more locally recognized address to map. _________________ "If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you." - Oscar Wilde |

| Square top building to the left of Karan Park at the end of the street. Compare to the first picture I posted. Any one looked yet? Not much to see even if you do.

I think this building more closely resembles the building in the picture. It's a ways northwest of your location, and it's right on "Nagar" road.
edit -
Notice the offset tower, and the 3-section front. Last edited by syrtran on 25-May-2007 at 02:58 AM.

We have a new clue as well.
"Near Wrikfield Company" seems to be a typo here: http://www.isbm.ac.in/contact-us.html
Its actually the Weikfield Company its near:
http://www.weikfield.com/address.html
So if we find this we can correlate it with the possibilities people are finding. :)

Hmmm, that on is also a very convicing possibility. I think we're all in the correct neighborhood anyway.
It turns out my co-worker from India went to university in the same city. I can ask tomorrow if he's familiar with Ashoka Plaza.

I think you may have the right place. It is near Weikfield:

That way of listing adresses is common place here in Greece too. The main idea is when you have a road of two way directions (i don’t know how it is called really in English, I hope that I described at least well), then, when going up, on your right hand will appear the numbers 1,2,3 etc but when you turn and take the road form the opposite side (I mean going down) then the numbers that will appear on your right hand will be 100,99,98,97 etc._________________
