From Engineering to Art: My Transformative Journey at IESA and the Launch of TAK Contemporary
Having worked in Engineering, I was quite new to the field of contemporary art when I joined IESA (Institut d’Études Supérieures des Arts).
I enrolled in the MBA Contemporary Art: Sales, Display and Collecting program to gain an in-depth understanding of the art market.
Moving from a technical environment to a creative and artistic one was a challenge, but the exposure and support I received from the management team as well as from IESA’s professors were truly transformative.
After completing internships at galerie 193 and at Carpenters' Workshop Gallery, I recently launched my own initiative “TAK Contemporary” (IG: @takcontemporary), with two of my colleagues, Damini Kulkarni and Shubhankar Pr., to promote Indian contemporary art in Paris.
The resources and knowledge I gained at IESA were extremely valuable to me in creating my own business.
