KIRAN NADAR

Founder and Chairperson, KNMA 

Kiran Nadar needs no introduction. In January 2010, she gave India its first private museum—the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA). Today, she is a recipient of the Padma Shri award and is regarded as one of the pioneers of art in the country. A prominent name in promoting contemporary art, Kiran feels art has acquired a heightened sensitivity post the pandemic. “All artistic mediums undergo growth and are shaped by the prevailing events. The pandemic, being a major event, has served as a source of inspiration for numerous artists,” she tells Bazaar India.
