There are things; some of them passing strange that happen when you confront a piece of art -
unfolding of the heart; its expansion; its agitation and finally vibration.

MEET OUR FOUNDER

Aakanksha Singh

Founder | CEO

A proud third generation defence kid, Aakanksha was born in Nainital but spent most of her life travelling across the country across different IAF bases. She has internalised and learnt all she knows about Indian art through close proximity with artist communities across two decades.

She has worked with small and medium business technology startups and with private equity in the luxury and lifestyle spaces. A fellow at Digital Desh, she co-authored five reports with the team that delved into the digital behaviours of small and medium businesses in India. Infact, the idea for Bridge Bharat was born from one of the drives that she led in Himachal Pradesh in 2019. With a strong inclination towards art, luxury and impact, the idea for Bridge Bharat combined all her passions and was, in a way, almost serendipitous!
