Tvarita Arts Collective

What Tvarita Arts Collective does

Tvarita Arts Collective is a privately-held, for-profit cultural organization headquartered and operating in India, dedicated to preserving indigenous and folk art forms and creating professional opportunities for traditional artists. The company delivers five interconnected service lines: Curated Performances and Experiences (live shows, storytelling evenings, and cultural programming for homes, institutions, and festivals), Corporate Engagements (art-based employee activities such as mural painting, cultural showcases, and creative learning tied to themes like collaboration and inclusion), Workshops and Masterclasses (folk-painting and performance-led sessions in schools, colleges, and workplaces), Artist-Made Products (handcrafted goods and bundles customized for corporate gifting, festivals, and exhibitions), and Research and Storytelling (documentation of artists, traditions, and communities). It does not operate a proprietary technology platform; the business is service- and curation-led, with delivery handled directly by a 1-10 employee team and its network of 910+ folk and tribal artists across 25+ art forms.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project, quote-based pricing model across corporate, educational, festival, and private-venue clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Distribution is direct, primarily through relationship-driven outreach, content marketing via the company website and Instagram/LinkedIn channels, and partnerships such as the launch of the Kalaangan Home Concert Series with the Harvard Club of Bangalore. The organization is founder-led by co-founders Priyanka K Mohan (Yakshagana artist with 25+ years of practice and Ministry of Culture recognition) and Surabhi Yelsangikar (Harvard Graduate School of Education graduate and former early-stage incubation lead at NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore). The company reports scale metrics of 90+ curated events, 22,700+ audience members reached, and a 40% average income growth for supported artists, but discloses no revenue, headcount growth, or external funding.
