In 2016, while pursuing his Bachelor`s in Mass Media degree, Parth Shah noticed a lack of study spaces for students in Malad, Mumbai. Empathizing with his peers` struggle to find a peaceful place to study, Shah decided to create a solution. Supported by his family, he established a study room called `Dream Baux,` aimed at fulfilling students` dreams of finding a suitable study environment.
Being a student himself at that time, Shah understood the challenges these students were facing and decided to do something about it. It did not take long for him to start the study room for students to study in peace. The initiative gradually evolved into a library, thanks to a donation of close to 300 books from a generous donor. With access to books, patrons began requesting more reading materials. Today, Dream Baux serves not only students but also attracts children, adults and retired individuals who enjoy reading.
