The Quorum, India’s first ideas-led and community-driven lifestyle hospitality platform, has partnered with Nucleus Office Parks, a 100% subsidiary of Blackstone India Real Estate, to launch 'The Pavilion' - a state-of-the-art events and experiences venue in the heart of Mumbai. Located in Lower Parel’s One International Center, the 6,350 sq.ft. space is designed to redefine the city’s event landscape, blending business, lifestyle, and culture.

With a hospitality-driven approach and a versatile, naturally-lit design, The Pavilion serves as an ideal space for hosting corporate events such as conferences, seminars, and town halls, as well as social gatherings, including birthdays, anniversaries, and cultural performances. The venue's flexible infrastructure makes it a sought-after destination for businesses, event organizers, and individuals seeking an elevated event experience.

Going beyond just providing a space, The Pavilion leverages The Quorum’s in-house event planning and production expertise to curate bespoke experiences. Clients can benefit from end-to-end event solutions, including customized menus, themed decor, artist curation, performances, and entertainment.

Rooted in The Quorum’s vision of integrating business and lifestyle, The Pavilion enhances One International Center’s appeal as a modern, multi-functional destination. Designed as a lifestyle-centric amenity, it offers a seamless environment for work, collaboration, and cultural engagement.

Vivek Narain, Founder & CEO of The Quorum, highlighted the venue’s unique positioning, stating, "The Pavilion isn't just a standalone venue—it represents a forward-thinking, design-led approach to hosting events and experiences. It capitalizes on the prime location and grade-A infrastructure of One International Center and offers a hospitality-integrated venue for events across the spectrum."

The Pavilion boasts a contemporary layout featuring a built-in screen, a state-of-the-art sound system, a custom-designed bar, and designated serving stations. With a seating capacity of 200, tiered seating, and panoramic viewing angles, the space ensures an immersive and engaging experience for attendees. Unlike conventional hotel banquets, The Pavilion brings a fresh, sophisticated alternative to Mumbai’s event scene.

The venue’s inaugural event will feature globally renowned mentalist Nicolai Friedrich, setting the stage for an exciting lineup of experiences in the months ahead. With The Quorum’s extensive background in curating over 1,500 cultural events and 2,400 corporate gatherings, The Pavilion is poised to become Mumbai’s premier destination for high-caliber events.
