Why Uday exists
Built in memory.
Driven by kindness.
Uday Foundation was founded on 11 September 2014 in the loving memory of Uday K. Shetty, a philanthropist who believed in dedicated service towards the aged community, whom he fondly called “old children”.
Today, we work across Mumbai to feed people in need, care for abandoned elderly residents and support underprivileged children.
