An entrepreneur, investor, connoisseur and curator are few of the hats that Prshant wears in his role as the co-founder of Kalakriti India.

Hailing from a traditional business family with presence in Hyderabad for over 150 years. His interests in real estate, phygytal stores, hospitality and WASH, Prshant ventured out into the hitherto unexplored territory of Art in year 2002.

He hails from a family of philanthropists who have established many educational and charitable institutions across the erstwhile Hyderabad State.

For his efforts in the bilateral promotion of art and culture, Prshant was awarded the French government’s second highest civilian award for art, “Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres” (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters).
