The India Story 2016: A Preview

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”

-Pablo Picasso

When art meets fashion and food, magic is created. This very magic blossomed into The India Story, a brainchild of Madhu Neotia, Abhilasha Sethia and Nil, a curated showcasing of the best from contemporary Indian design. The India Story 2016 (20th to 23rd October) is brought to being by the Neotia Arts Trust, funded by the Ambuja Neotia Group with the aim of generating a space meant exclusively for Indian design aesthetics.
