About The Circle of Happiness is an initiative that brings groups of people together to talk, feel inspired, challenged, and supported. Using the symbol of a circle – we are encouraging people to come together and talk about their lives, their stories and form a community of like mindedness. The idea is to plant these circles across the city – and institute a message to people – to come together, share and converge.

Through a series of community initiatives and on-ground events Rustomjee is inviting people to join the Circle of Happiness by hosting community circles where there will be discussion, connection, support and a free exchange of ideas. The Circle of Happiness will be kickstarted with a symposium on 7^th October at The NCPA focused on Building a Happier World. This will be followed by the intimate community circles being held on 8th Oct 2022 Soho House, Juhu & at Rustomjee Elements, off Juhu Circle and on 9th Oct, 2022 Rustomjee Crown, Prabhadevi.
