Gallery One

What Gallery One does

Gallery One is a privately held, founder-owned contemporary Indian art gallery operating from a single physical location in DLF City Phase IV, Gurgaon, India, established in 1999. It curates and sells paintings, sculpture, and works on paper from a roster of approximately 119 contemporary Indian artists, alongside a secondary category of antiquities and collectibles (oleographs, prints, old bronzes, metal objects). Its core business is artwork sales transacted on an inquiry-driven basis — buyers contact the gallery via WhatsApp or in-person visits, negotiate, and pay in full before title passes. Prices for listed works range from roughly ₹30,000 to ₹6,50,000, with some works quoted on request.

Beyond primary sales, Gallery One operates four adjacent service lines: Art Advisory (for first-time buyers, experienced collectors, investors, and interior designers, including a Project Division supplying artworks to offices, restaurants, and clubs), Restoration (paintings on paper and canvas), Appraisals (independent valuations for provenance and insurance), and Bespoke Framing (museum-grade materials). Sales are predominantly domestic, but international shipping is offered and the gallery has an internationally visible curatorial profile through Founder Neeraj Ajmani's role as Curator and Project Manager for the Benetton Foundation's IMAGO MUNDI project, under which he co-authored four books on contemporary artists from India, Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar. The gallery also runs workshops and residencies (since 2017) and has staged 15 exhibitions since inception, including a first ceramics show in 2019.

The business model is service-heavy and relationship-driven: low transaction volume, high ticket prices, no recurring revenue, no public pricing, no institutional or external capital, and no digital channel beyond a portfolio website and WhatsApp. The technology stack is essentially the website itself — there is no proprietary platform, no app, no API, and no disclosed AI capabilities. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, and operates with roughly 38 employees.

• Chemould Prescott Road: Historic Mumbai-based gallery (formerly Chemould), representing leading contemporary Indian artists. Comparable as a contemporary Indian art gallery with a similar artist roster and collector channel.
