The session is part of the Foundation Project implemented by IFA under its Archives and Museums programme with Zapurza Museum of Art and Culture, coordinated by Kohinoor Darda, cognitive neuroscientist, neuro-aesthetician, performing artist, and founder of ARISA Foundation. The project examines Pune’s artistic legacy through exhibitions, research, and public programmes.

Highlights from the discussion

“Artists often work in pockets, but to bring them together and create synergy, we need spaces like this museum,” observed Shilpa Joglekar, highlighting the importance of community in Pune’s art world. The discussion also situated women’s work within the broader legacy of the city — while Pune has long been celebrated for its contributions to literary arts and theatre, the voices and practices of visual artists have remained underrepresented. This panel sought to redress that imbalance by foregrounding women’s contributions.

The panel also debated the role of social media in shaping art viewership. While acknowledging its reach, the artists cautioned against its superficiality.

 “Social media allows you to put your process out there, but it can also trivialise the artwork. Looking at art requires time, attention, and presence,” said Gayatri Tambe Deshpande.
 “Many viewers today see exhibitions as colourful backdrops for Instagram reels, without really engaging with the work,” added Vaishali Oak.

The conversation expanded to accessibility in the arts, underlining the need to take art beyond galleries.
 “The white cube can feel alienating. Bringing art into public spaces makes it accessible to everyone, creating a new visual culture,” noted Shilpa Joglekar.

The panel concluded with reflections on technology and tradition. The artists agreed that while tools like AI can support artistic processes, they cannot replace the role of the artist.
 “AI is just another medium. It can save time and offer possibilities, but art still comes from lived experience and human connection,” said Gayatri Tambe Deshpande.

The discussion took place alongside the exhibition Pune’s Artistic Legacy Part 3: Women Artists of Pune, on view at Zapurza Museum of Art and Culture until 10 September 2025. The exhibition features ceramics, textiles, paintings, illustrations, and more — led by themes of memory, nature, material, and movement — and invites audiences to read the city’s art history through women’s practices.

According to Mr. Devndra Chawla, CEO & MD, GreenCell Mobility, “At NueGo, we are dedicated to enhancing the travel experience for every passenger, especially women. We feel that women passengers feeling valued, safe, and comfortable throughout their journey should be a norm and sacrosanct to the very nature of the business. We hope that this becomes a practice across the industry to ensure women feel comfortable and safe while travelling.“

Apart from the dedicated helpline number, NueGo has launched several other initiatives to make women passengers’ journeys safe, comfortable, and accessible. These include advanced safety features such as CCTV surveillance, GPS live tracking, driver breath analyzer tests, and more. The brand’s well-trained staff and driver monitoring systems ensure a secure and pleasant travel experience.

NueGo has also introduced a special program called WoW (Women on Wheels) for women passengers, offering a discount of 15% on tickets across all routes. This offer can be redeemed on NueGo’s website & app, and OTA channels, including Redbus, Paytm, and Via.

According to data from redBus, while the industry average for women travellers in inter-city buses stands at 24%, NueGo has outpaced this with a 28%. This statistic not only highlights NueGo as a preferred mode of transport for women but also reflects the trust and safety associated with the brand.

In May this year, NueGo had received ‘Asia Book of Records’ as well as ‘India Book of Records’ for launching India’s First all-women inter-city bus from Delhi to Agra, where all passengers as well as the staff of the bus were all women.

NueGo’s comprehensive approach to safety, coupled with its customer-first philosophy, positions it as a leader in the domain of inter-city bus travel. These initiatives are a step forward in making travel more accessible, secure, and enjoyable for women, reinforcing NueGo’s position as a trusted and progressive travel partner.

Nashik was selected as the next city for the ‘My City My Heritage’ campaign due to its rich historical and cultural significance. The Heritage Walk, led by Ms. Amruta Uplekar, a conservation architect, offered a fascinating exploration of iconic landmarks of the city. The event drew enthusiastic participation from the local community, government officials, and senior leadership of IndiGo and InterGlobe Foundation.

Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer, of IndiGo, said, “IndiGo is proud to contribute to the exploration and preservation of Nashik’s heritage sites as part of the ‘My City My Heritage’ campaign. We aim to not only boost tourism but also highlight the rich history and culture of Nashik, one of Maharashtra’s top tourist destinations.“

Rohini Bhatia, Chairperson, of InterGlobe Foundation, said, “At InterGlobe Foundation, we recognized the need and responsibility to preserve our cultural heritage. We are proud to be associated with the ‘My City My Heritage’ campaign, which has now reached the beautiful and culturally rich city of Nashik.“

Beyond the Heritage Walk, IndiGoReach is actively involved in CSR programs in Nashik, Maharashtra. These programs are implemented in partnership with AFARM, an apex institution based in Pune, Maharashtra, and involve collaborating with support organizations like Maharashtra Prabodhan Seva Mandal (MPSM) and the National Institute for Sustainable Development (NISD).

The ‘My City My Heritage’ campaign draws on material previously developed by InterGlobe Foundation in partnership with Sahapedia as part of a project to explore, document, and spread the diverse heritage and cultural aspects of ten Indian cities. More than two hundred cultural points of interest were identified as part of this project, and the material developed has been captured in the form of city booklets, which are now available to the public in both print and digital formats.

IndiGoReach and InterGlobe Foundation have individually taken forward various projects for promoting heritage conservation and preservation in India. Some of the major projects of InterGlobe Foundation include the conservation and cultural revival of Abdur Rahim Khan-I-Khanan’s mausoleum in Delhi, the cultural mapping and documentation of ten cities, and the restoration of the stepwell “Indra Kund” in Delwara, Rajasthan. Recently, InterGlobe Foundation also launched the InterGlobe HERITAGE Fellowships to engage a cross-section of the public in documenting and researching the cultural heritage of India and help increase its awareness.
