What’s

our story

We are India’s first independent visual arts discovery platform that specialises in creating user-friendly experiences to make the arts accessible to you.

We envision a future where the arts are a part of your everyday life. That’s why we’ve created a centralised platform as your one-stop guide for an experience that connects you to the art world with the click of a button!

As a young woman-led art-tech startup, we have consciously diversified our outlook to go beyond the visual arts and focus on the broader creative ecosystem, and have organically evolved into operating as a South Asian arts and culture consultancy working at the intersection of creativity and technology.
