Our Story
As marketers and parents based out of Mumbai, India with a deep appreciation for the arts. Our daughter, a budding artist, inspired us to closely follow the art scene. Over the years, we’ve often wondered why the incredible artists of our classical art forms do not receive the same recognition and limelight as their Western counterparts. This disparity raises critical questions:
- Why do many Indian children find it challenging to pursue a career in the arts?
- What obstacles hinder their access to necessary support, respect, and financial rewards?
The experience of organizing our daughter’s bharatanatyam arangetram further highlighted these challenges. An arangetram is a significant milestone for an aspiring artist. It is a stepping stone into professional stage performances, and showcases years of rigorous training and mentoring of her Gurus. Hence this event demands meticulous planning and execution. Finding the right support to navigate the complexities of an arangetram, ensuring adherence to tradition while creating a memorable experience, proved to be a significant challenge.
An arangetram is more than just a performance; it’s a testament to the artist’s dedication, a celebration of the Guru’s vision, and a joyous occasion for the entire family and well wishers. It deserves a stage that truly reflects the artist’s and Guru’s immense efforts. Similar are the hardships faced while organizing recitals, kutcheris, annual days, or group productions and cultural ensembles.
