About the hub
A youth community building local solutions with global support.
The Global Shapers Community was founded by the World Economic Forum to channel the energy of young leaders toward their cities. The Mumbai Hub has been active since the community's earliest days — convening shapers across sectors to organise, build, and ship.
Local-first
Every project starts with a real problem in Mumbai — and a shaper willing to lead it.
Cross-sector
Our members come from finance, climate, policy, design, healthcare, education, and tech.
Globally networked
We tap into the wider Global Shapers network to learn from 500+ hubs in 155+ countries.

Project
EcoEverAfter
Making sustainable weddings the new normal.
A directory and resource hub helping couples plan eco-friendly celebrations. Indian weddings generate 300–500 kg of waste each — EcoEverAfter equips couples and vendors to make deliberate choices around venue, décor, and clothing.

What our shapers say
Why people join the hub.
“Being part of the Mumbai Hub plugged me into a powerful community of change-makers and gave me the confidence to drive local climate action.”
“The Global Shapers community gives you direct access to purpose-driven peers and resources you simply can't find elsewhere.”
“What started as a side project became a citywide movement — because the hub backed it from day one.”
