The venture completes four successful years this month. To mark this milestone, they will host one of their biggest gatherings in Bengaluru and Mumbai this weekend. “Over four years, we have completed more than 800 bookings for local and international participants, with 63 editions in nine cities across India and Nepal. It hasn’t been a smooth ride. The pandemic was one of our major hurdles, but we managed to sail through. There were floods at times, and other instances like the recent heat wave, when we had to cancel or reschedule our events. It is also difficult to ensure that every artist earns enough. We don’t charge them rent for stalls or take commissions because we feel that it’s unfair to ask them to pay money to showcase their art. We’ve had our share of ups and downs. And we may not be the first ones to have started a concept like this, but we have surely created a stir,” beams the founder.
