Across print, digital, branded content, out-of-home, and experiential platforms, BCCL combines trusted journalism, audience insight, and innovation to shape conversations at scale. 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 rapid. No single 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 run the Art of India gallery and program its year. Early next year Art of India gets a permanent home on the heritage ground floor of The Times of India building in Mumbai. You turn three event-weeks into fifty-two selling weeks by filling the calendar, running the floor, and making every show open on time and close clean. The measure of success is simple: within a year, the gallery is a permanent stop on Mumbai's art circuit. What you will do
• Program fifty-two weeks. Build and run the gallery's annual calendar for Mumbai's collectors with as few idle days as possible: a fresh show every few weeks,



previews, talks, education sessions and ticketed evening shows.
• Propose the shows and the series. Within the curatorial standard the Head holds, bring ideas to the table and use the whole floor, from the lounge for talks to the pop-up space for larger shows.
• Run the floor. Own installation, opening, run and de-installation for every show, and the front of house, security, lighting and audiovisual vendors that make a gallery feel effortless.
• Carry the art. Take charge of every work from the moment it leaves the artist or gallery: packing, transit, insurance, storage, condition reports and returns.
• Host the partners and run the numbers. Operate the paid slots for the galleries your colleague signs and the presentations by artists who have no gallery, track show budgets, venue-hire revenue and operating costs, and document every show for the archive.
• Work as one of five founding hires under the Head of Art of India, who decides what the gallery shows and teaches. Gallery and Artist Relations brings the work, the two Collector Relations and Sales roles bring the buyers, and Art Education and Research fills the calendar with its sessions and keeps the archive you feed. Give all of them a floor that works, and hold the art calendar alongside the separate team that programs the rest of 1838. What you bring




• You are the person who makes a hundred moving parts look like a calm evening.
• 4 to 8 years running a gallery, museum, venue or cultural events operation. You have run a calendar of shows, not just one. Profile matters more than years.
• A programmer as well as an operator. You have a feel for what belongs on a cultural calendar.
• Hands-on with vendors, budgets and art. You plan and price installers, lighting, security and shipping.
• Calm under opening-night pressure. Weekend and evening work is the job, and you are at your best when the doors open.
• Background may include a gallery or museum operations role, a cultural venue or performing arts centre, a festival or art fair production team, and high-end events. 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 The gallery opens early next year, and the plan for the next three years rests on it. If you have spent your career making cultural spaces work and always believed one could run fifty-two weeks a year at the highest standard, this is the seat where you get to prove it.
