Our common passion to bring more art into people's lives has brought us all together. We believe in a world where art is affordable to own and helps us express ourselves daily.
We’re family here. We celebrate birthdays together, we eat lunch together and we fight about what album should be playing in the shop next.

Raised in three separate countries, but sharing the same dream to make an impart on society, Arjun Charanjiva (India), Kunal Anand (Zimbabwe) and Jas Charanjiva (Canada/USA) forged their own paths in a pre-Internet world discovering the art, design, music and heroes that would shape and lead them New York, London and San Francisco (respectively) where they would evolve and thrive within the sub- cultures with which they identified.. It was in Mumbai, 2012, where their lives converged and connected on Indo- global culture and India’s emerging design scene. Seeing such brilliant artwork hidden away in sketch- books and computers of talented artists, Kulture Shop was formed to help foster an art movement that looked highly promising.
