For the past three years, discussions around nepotism in the film industry have been a constant feature of media interviews and general dinner table conversations. Of course, Bollywood holds blame. However, the people who are now claiming to critique and tear down nepotism within the film industry are the same who have continued to not just allow it, but have actively played a part in cultivating this culture – the mainstream Indian media.
Anant Shah- Founder
Anant Shah (just as his Instagram bio says) has always been interested in connecting people though their different cultures. He is drawn to this goal, given his background of a family of artists, as well as his work at several different organisations such as the People Tree with Orijit Sen, The Conflictorium in Ahmedabad and The UN (AIDS) Communications and Global Advocacy Team in Geneva. As a graduate of History and International relations at Ashoka University, he co-founded and set up the Ashoka Literature festival in 2019. Longing to increase this critical discourse on contemporary and traditional Indian Cultures he finally decided to start InCulture.
Kartik Sundar- Founder
Kartik Sundar loves nothing more than opining on cultural content. An avid writer for many publications, the decision to start one of his own came from recognizing a substantive lack of critical discourse around Indian culture today. He graduated Ashoka University with a degree in History & International Relations and wishes to complete further education with a focus on media and cultural studies.
