The conversation with Abhishek Poddar reflects on his innovative and pioneering spirit for our times. An industrialist of renown and a passionate collector of Indian art, Abhishek has over the last few years moved from personal enjoyment to a brilliantly conceived project to share his vast collection –the setting up of a new museum from the ground up in the dynamic city of Bengaluru, India. This soon to open museum, MAP –the Museum of Art and Photography will house the fruits of his tireless and decades-long collecting.

The focus of the Conversation will be on Abhishek and his collecting journey, and on his vision for a 21st  century Museum, MAP, which is now close to realization in 2022. This will be an illustrated Conversation with works from the MAP collection.
