About us

Kalastrot is the exclusive go to source for Art in any form . We are passionate about the bewildering magic that thought forms and unique visons create on canvas and other materials. We curate and promote both emerging artists and established names who create contemporary and modern art by seeing the world and life with an unparalleled and unique vision.

The name Kalastrot was coined thoughtfully and as the meaning goes, the whole idea was to build this platform and transform this as a reservoir for genuine, good quality art by the budding artists of India thus providing them a direction for a sustainable living.

Kalastrot has sourced art from various artists across India. We source from legends in the making; artists who have created a unique language and style of their own and have already found an audience for themselves in art galleries, corporate houses etc.

We also curate from artists who are pursuing a dream; a passion in art or have passed from various art schools of India – Shanti Niketan, Kolkata Art College, JJ School of Arts, Baroda Art College, Banaras Hindu University etc.
Kalastrot values the talent and creativity of such budding artists who with their passion for art of various forms are speaking to the world through their creatives. We partner them in their journey.

Indian art has a rich and complex history spanning thousands of years. However, the artists of ancient India, who created magnificent works like the murals in the caves of Ajanta and Ellora are not known by name.Amongst the earliest renowned Indian artists was Raja Ravi Verma, who fused Western artistic techniques with a purely Indian sensibility. British rule and their academic system brought about European influences in Indian art. It was the Bengal School of Art that moved the Indian art scene away from the western influences and toward traditional Indian art styles.

To discover the lesser known Indian talent and reveal their talent to the world on a tech platform was the thought behind the inception of Kalastrot. The company was co-founded by Bidisha and Bhaskar in January 2022. Who ever thought that two career bankers could delve deep into art, understand and define an intention to encourage such artists across the country and promote their art.
Kalastrot was envisaged as a collaborative journey into the deeper layers of aesthetics as it has evolved from the depths of Ajanta & Ellora to the digital canvasses of the iPad.
