And this question is never so relevant as it is in mid-twenties!<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Some choose to delay answering it by choosing not to leave the university until miraculously they know one day! Some know it since they were in their mother&#8217;s womb and are already on their way. Some are grilling themselves in a job that they detest, trying to look for that ray of hope guiding them out of their sticky situation. Meanwhile, we architects are still drafting through our final submission in college. And our friends are pursuing MBA. Yeah that&#8217;s right. And we all know when they are done with completely boring us with their unending surveys through college, all they talk about are ideas! A new venture, a new business. A start-up.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">And when you have a few passionate MBA&#8217;s around they are quite contagious. So that led us\u00a0thinking about what could be a start-up in architecture!<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">U+ Collective is an answer just to that.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">U+ is a collective initiated by Kshitij Shah and Ojashree Sarda with the purpose of bringing about Urban change.
