The Lodha Foundation is committed to advancing India’s journey toward becoming a developed nation. Imbibing the ‘Philanthropy of Excellence’ across its various programmes spanning Education, Innovation, Sustainability, and Community Development, it is dedicated to strengthening India’s progress.
The Lodha Theoretical Physics Institute (LTPI) is founded on the long term vision that transformative technological eras are preceded by revolutions in the fundamental sciences. By bringing together exceptional faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and long term visitors, LTPI will provide intellectual freedom, stability, a collaborative spirit, and the courage to pursue deep questions and bold ideas, enabling discoveries whose impact will unfold over decades.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
"It is very important for us as a company to make sure that our success contributes in a wholesome manner to India’s development. We have realised that for any nation to become strong, we have to have original thinking, we have to have what is called Innovation."

ADVANCING NEW FRONTIERS IN FUNDAMENTAL SCIENCE
The Foundations of Scientific Understanding
Theoretical physics lies at the heart of our understanding of nature. By seeking to explain the fundamental laws governing matter, energy, space, and time, it provides the conceptual framework on which much of modern science is built. Advances in theoretical physics have historically shaped scientific thought and laid the groundwork for transformative developments across disciplines.
A New Platform for Fundamental Research
The Lodha Theoretical Physics Institute is envisioned as a dedicated centre for fundamental research in theoretical physics in India. The Institute seeks to address the need for sustained, long-term inquiry by creating an academic environment that enables focused research programmes, international conferences, and meaningful collaboration among leading scientists from India and across the world.
Building Long-Term Excellence in Theoretical Physics
The Lodha Theoretical Physics Institute is founded on the long-term vision that transformative technological eras are preceded by revolutions in the fundamental sciences. By bringing together exceptional faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and long-term visitors, LTPI will provide intellectual freedom, stability, a collaborative spirit, and the courage to pursue deep questions and bold ideas, enabling discoveries whose impact will unfold over decades.
