About Art of India

Indian art is having its moment. A new generation of collectors is arriving, the world is paying closer attention, and the market is growing fast. No institution has yet built the platform that convenes it, and The Times of India is the one institution with the reach and the credibility to claim that ground.

Art of India is where it begins. It is a profitable curated art business inside The Times of India Group, five editions old, with hundreds of collectors who already own work bought through it. We are now turning it into a year-round business, with a Head in place and a permanent gallery opening in The Times of India building in Mumbai.

The opportunity

We are looking for someone to build art education as a business inside Art of India, and to hold its research. Nothing in India sits between a short certificate course and an executive master's abroad. That empty band is the space we take.

The Group already runs a learning business built on residencies, with a ladder: masterclasses that open the door, a working program that solves the core problem, and immersive weeks that create the aspiration. You bring that ladder to art. It needs no consignment, no inventory and no collector's slow decision, so it is the fastest stream to launch.

You also hold the record. Whoever measures a market defines it, and no Indian institution measures the art market today. You build the report, the index and the archive that make The Times of India the reference point for the category.

What you will do

- Build the courses and the credential. Create structured courses for art professionals and students, from evening masterclasses to a nine-month Saturday program on Indian art and aesthetics with a certificate and a diploma,



co-badged with a global institution or an Indian university. Engage artists, curators, collectors and auction house heads as paid faculty.
- Build the collector programs. Create curated journeys to biennales and craft towns, studio visits where an artist shows how a major work is made, a patron's program with a year-round salon, and a next-generation track for heirs in their twenties and thirties. Ensure every experience carries a path to a sale.
- Build the leadership program. Develop a leadership-through-art program for CEOs, owners and founders, designed with an institutional partner, that ladders from in-city masterclasses to curated journeys to a week-long residency.
- Publish the report and the index. Produce an annual, independent account of the Indian art market under The Times of India's name, done in-house through secondary research with AI tools, interviews through the Group's network, and a survey of Indian collecting run with The Economic Times and the household database. Over time, develop a published index.
- Hold the archive. Maintain the permanent record of every exhibition, show and session, fed by the gallery team and open to editorial, so that the program becomes an institution.
- Own the numbers and the funnel. Manage the education P&L;, a free public tier on the Group's reach that feeds the paid tiers, and alumni who go on to become collectors.
- Work as one of five founding hires under the Head of Art of India, who holds the curatorial standard. Build with the Group's learning business while keeping the P&L; inside Art of India, and collaborate with Art Gallery and Event Programming, Gallery and Artist Relations, and the Collector Relations and Sales roles.

What you bring

- You are a teacher, a producer and a researcher at once, able to build a syllabus, sell a seat and write a report people quote.




- 4 to 8 years in arts education, museum learning, public programs, art market research, or an executive education or residency business. You have designed programs people paid for and came back to, or written about the market with authority. Profile matters more than years.
- Faculty in your phone. You know the artists, scholars, collectors and market specialists who can teach or be interviewed, and they trust you with a room.
- Art-literate and commercial. You can tell a serious syllabus from a pleasant evening, read an auction result, and know what a cohort has to cost and earn.
- A host and a writer. Residencies mean travel, studios and small groups of demanding adults. The report means clean data, careful interviews and prose that a collector and a chief executive both trust.
- Background may include a museum or foundation education department, an art school, an executive education or residency business, a cultural venue's public programs, and an art market research or editorial desk. No single path is required.

Education A graduate degree in any discipline is required, masters is preferred. Equivalent relevant experience may also be considered.

Why this matters now

Courses on how to see are sold abroad to medical schools and technology companies, and nobody sells one in India. No Indian institution yet measures its own art market under a name collectors trust, and others are starting to try.

Education can start before the gallery even opens, and the first report can be out within the year. If you have spent your career teaching people to look, or telling them what the market is doing, and always believed it could be a real business, this is the seat where you get to prove it.
