Mamta Singhania

Mamta Singhania is an art patron, philanthropist and institution-builder whose work spans over three decades at the intersection of contemporary art, education and social development. She founded Anant Art in 2003, a gallery where South Asian artistic traditions and contemporary experimentation could converge, becoming one of the first private galleries in India committed to transnational dialogue, bringing together established and emerging voices from across the subcontinent and beyond.

In 2023, she established Anant Foundation for the Arts to extend this commitment, building institutional support for arts and culture practitioners, curators and scholars through awards, residencies, curatorial forums and critical writing, ensuring that contemporary art in the region is nurtured through rigorous scholarship.

Her engagement with the arts has always been personal, and grounded in the belief that South Asian contemporary art deserves to be recorded, reflected upon and continuously reimagined.
