Dreaming of India

Inspired by India’s achievements towards the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and the ‘Make in India’ initiative, at the start of 2024, we took on the task of representing some of the key highlights of India’s trajectory into the future.

The project, located at the Petrapole Land Port, West Bengal is a long series of murals spanning 8,000 sq ft of intricately detailed paintings that depict the beautiful tapestry of our culture and its many faces as India transforms into the most powerful nation in the Global South.

Stories woven through ‘Day in the life of’ scenarios of an India of the future, showcase India’s advancements through good governance and creation of modern opportunities in the fields of medical manufacturing; space technology and research; the ever expanding access to electricity; leaps in public transportation & aviation; modernisation of chemical engineering, food safety; the foray into renewable energy; advancements in biotechnology; the focus on a return to traditional textile; future advancements in digital health, finance, electronics, IT, mining, media and entertainment; to name a few. 

We worked with a group of 15 artists from across the country to bring the project to life.
