Shubharambh Foundation

You can find us way up on the 33rd floor of Planet Godrej in Mahalaxmi. Flat 3301 in the Terra building. It’s a bit of a trek to get up here, but the view of Mumbai City is something. We started Shubharambh Foundation as a way to give back to the city that has given us a lot. Being in the old Simplex Mill compound area, you see a lot of history and a lot of change. Our office is just a regular flat where we’ve set up some desks. We aren't a corporate entity with a board of directors and shiny reports. We're just a small group of friends and family. We named it Shubharambh because we wanted to help people make a fresh start. Usually, that means helping someone get a small business off the ground or getting a kid back into school. We spend a lot of time on KK Marg, meeting people and seeing what’s going on at the ground level. It’s a bit of a contrast being up in a skyscraper and then going down to the busy streets of Mahalaxmi. We don't have a big marketing budget, so most of our work comes from people telling their friends about us. It's simple, honest work. We have our fair share of bad days where nothing seems to go right, but we just keep showing up. We're just trying to be a part of the city's progress in our own small way. It feels right to help out here.
