Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Neha Kirpal, Founder and Director of the popular India Art Fair, has taken the contemporary art scenario to a different level.
Neha Kirpal
With a bank loan of 60 lakhs and a dream to give contemporary art the much-deserved recognition, Neha started working on her dream to organize an art fair.
In a country that resounds with artistic and cultural heritage, India Art Fair stumped critics with its humungous success. Of course it is no child’s play to provide a platform for more than 1000 artists from 98 galleries sprawled across 20 countries.
Since the fair’s inception, Neha’s effort has roped in more than 2,60,000 visitors to the fair. Business associates, artists and art enthusiasts have been flocking to the country to either be a part of the fair or to bask in the beauty of the art form.
Why we find her inspiring:
– For believing in her passion and being determined till she tasted success
– For not being deterred by criticism and doing what she considered was right

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
