A COLLABORATIVE SPACE FOR THE ECOSYSTEM
THE COMMONS
A space designed for connection, collaboration, and convening.
The Commons was created with a simple belief: meaningful change happens when people come together.
Located within the Upadhyaya Foundation office, The Commons is a shared space for organisations, practitioners, and changemakers working across causes and communities. From planning sessions and workshops to training programmes and collaborative discussions, the space is intended to support the conversations and connections that help ideas turn into action.
As part of our commitment to strengthening the ecosystem, we are pleased to make The Commons available to non-profits and social impact organisations seeking a place to gather, learn, and collaborate.

The Commons is a versatile and thoughtfully designed multi-purpose space located at the Upadhyaya Foundation office in One Lodha Place, Lower Parel, Mumbai. Available to non-profits and ecosystem partners, the space is well-suited for meetings, workshops, training sessions, roundtables, community gatherings, and other events aligned with social impact.
