Preserving traditional folk, classical literature, and indigenous artisan crafts.
Kalighat & Modern
Preserving Culture. Inspiring Creativity. Building Community.
After establishing K S Ad Concern (Kishalaya Sil – Advertising Concern), I began working in Printing, Branding, and Event Management. Gradually, I entered the cultural world, and started organising Drawing Competitions, Canvas Painting Workshops, Cultural Programmes, and various other events.
Over time, each programme began gaining popularity. The events also started attracting the attention of both Print Media and Electronic Media. However, as we were an Advertising Agency, the media gradually became less involved.
