India's PREMIER Art Fair | Interviews at ART MUMBAI 2025 | Highlights | Art With Az

Art Mumbai 2025 is India’s premier contemporary art fair — fast, intense, and shaped by conversations that usually happen behind closed doors. In this episode of Art With Az, I step beyond booth walkthroughs to focus on what actually defines the fair: artists, gallerists, collectors, and institutions in dialogue. Filmed on location, this episode captures real-time conversations on taste, power, markets, risk, and the future of Indian art. 🎙 Interviews featured in this episode: Minal Vazirani — Saffronart Kumar Mangalam Birla — Chairman of the Aditya Birla Group Udai Jain — Dhoomimal Gallery Ichha Wadia — DAG (Mumbai) Ashvin Rajagopalan — Ashvita’s Malini Gujralani — 1x1 Art Gallery Zahir Merchant (Collector) Ashna Singh — Studio Art Projjal Dutta — Aicon Contemporary Sharan Apparao — Apparao Galleries Riddhi Bhalla & Mandira Lamba — Blueprint12 Deepak Natesan — Natesan Antiquities Tushar Jiwarajka — Volte Gallery Mortimer Chatterjee — Chatterjee & Lal Nakul Chawla — Chawla Art Gallery Conor Mackin — Grosvenor Gallery Rather than treating Art Mumbai as spectacle, this episode treats it as a thinking space — where ideas collide booth-to-booth, and the people shaping Indian modern and contemporary art reflect candidly on authorship, value, visibility, and longevity. 📍 Shot at Art Mumbai 2025 🎙 Interviews by Azaan Karan 🎥 Part of the Art With Az series on Indian modern & contemporary art Subscribe for more artist conversations, art-fair coverage, and deep dives into the Indian art ecosystem.
