Rustomjee Group Collaborates with DBIS-MUN 2025 to Empower Youth in Reimagining India’s Future Cities

A partnership built on purpose, participation, and the power of young ideas

Mumbai, 13 August 2025: Rustomjee Group partnered with Don Bosco International School’s Model United Nations (DBIS-MUN) 2025 as a key supporter in a collaboration that brings together education, imagination, and urban development. Taking place in Mumbai, this association was anchored in the theme “Future Cities of India” and aimed to create an active platform for school students. This initiative reflected Rustomjee’s ongoing commitment to its core philosophy of ‘Building Better Futures’ by engaging meaningfully with young minds and enabling real dialogue around sustainability, inclusion, and thoughtful design in city-making. 

Through this partnership, Rustomjee hoped to amplify youth voices, empower civic imagination, and co-create a vision for cities that are not only built better, but lived better. As part of this initiative, Rustomjee introduced the Rustomjee Youth Fellowship, a first-of-its-kind platform designed to invite MUN delegates to reflect on what kind of cities they wish to live in. 

DBIS-MUN 2025 took place at Don Bosco International School with participation from over 240 student delegates from across schools. The event opened with a keynote address and participation from Mr. Percy Chowdhry, Executive Director of Rustomjee Group culminated in the felicitation of the top three Youth Fellowship winners, whose work was presented at the closing ceremony and will feature across Rustomjee’s digital platforms.

Beyond the Fellowship, Rustomjee’s on-ground engagement at the MUN included a thoughtfully curated installation called The Future Wall. Each student received a symbolic brick, on which they wrote one idea, one wish, or one change they hope to see in the cities of tomorrow. These bricks came together to form a collective installation — not just a wall of ideas, but a shared vision crafted by the very generation that will shape what comes next.

Additionally, Rustomjee unveiled its Cities of Tomorrow booklet at the event. It captures both the changing vocabulary of urban development across the world and how Rustomjee is bringing some of those principles to life across its ongoing and upcoming projects.

Mr. Percy Chowdhry, Executive Director of Rustomjee Group, reflected on the significance of the initiative, stating, “At Rustomjee, we believe the true blueprint of a city is shaped not just by its buildings, but by the dreams and voices of the people who live in it. Our partnership with DBIS-MUN is about giving the next generation a platform to be heard. We’re investing in their imagination, their ideas, and the belief that meaningful change often begins with a single question from a young mind.”

This collaboration between Rustomjee and DBIS-MUN is not a one-off campaign, it is a reflection of what meaningful brand engagement can look like when it places purpose before promotion.
