We are a non-profit organisation, driven not by revenue, but by responsibility. Every initiative under Collective 6 is designed to serve the community, celebrate shared values, and build spaces where culture, devotion, art, and people come together with intention.
Our journey began in October 2025 with our first event, Kankupagla, held in Vadodara a heartfelt effort that brought together tradition, participation, and collective spirit. Encouraged by the response and the impact it created, we are now preparing for our next initiative, Rudralok, continuing our commitment to purpose-driven gatherings.
Collective 6 is founded by six individuals, each bringing their own perspective, skill, and belief into the collective. While our founders come from different backgrounds, they are united by one shared vision:
to build initiatives that give back to society and remain rooted in integrity, inclusivity, and community welfare.
As an AOP and a non-profit entity, all efforts, collaborations, and events under Collective 6 are aligned with transparency and collective growth. We do not exist for profit we exist for people, culture, and community impact.
Collective 6 is not an organisation you attend.
It’s a collective you become a part of.
