Our Vision

"A world filled with Art"

To be a global brand nurturing Art and Aesthetics. A worldly platform that makes its place in the hearts of people and be recognised the world over for its work in the realm of Indian Classical Art and culture.

Our Mission

To develop strong teaching links with enthusiastic students as well as other institutes to further their aims in the selected genre. To support Indian arts and culture. To invest in the arts and culture sector and develop a business focused industry that presents diverse cultural activity, converging communities and consumers for satisfying aesthetic experiences.

Areas of Function:

While our primary aim is to deliver teaching in Indian Classical Music, Dance and Yoga, we also support and develop the Indian Classical Arts and Culture sector and organisations in order to strengthen their enterprise to check how studying and learning these arts can bring economic, social and personal success on a long-term basis. Our lessons happen through offline and online modes of classes, video tutorials, personal coaching, group classes, skill development, advice, mentoring, workshops and concerts.

Arts, culture and lifestyle programmes are organised for public viewing which spreads the word on how enriching this medium is. This bolsters our sustainability in operation while ensuring a comprehensive cultural programme beyond borders.

Within The Pink Lotus Academia, individual strands represent different disciplines of Dance, Music, Yoga, Visual Arts, Theatre, Literature, Sculpture, Craft, History & Heritage, Festivals, Traditional Arts among others.

Idea Behind Creating The Pink Lotus Academia

While the world adapted to closed lives this year, we realised that creative pursuits could open up avenues of the mind and heart in various ways. As Covid struck, virtual platforms opened up with innovations and experiments. From education, to business to procuring groceries.

In tandem with this radical change in the medium of learning, we identified that classrooms are not the only option to knowledge sharing. Research ensued on market trends whereby Online emerged as one of prime variants of learning in these altered times.

The Pink Lotus Academia stands out because it saves on conveyance costs, saves travelling and preparation time. On an easily accessible single platform, one gets to choose from a flexible module of multiple options such as Dance, Music, Yoga and Visual Art.

We customise learning experiences so that the student can learn at their own pace. On an open platform such as this, the pressure of being surrounded by peers is obviated. This enables students to absorb information better. Especially lone souls who thrive in solitude.

Workshops .
Creativity.
Growth.

The Pink Lotus Academia is an Online Tutorial Platform, a creative organisation playing on the benefits of Indian Classical Arts and Culture so that they help in boosting artistic faculties beyond the realm of performance to health and well-being. The idea is to incorporate their benefits and wholesomeness into any activity of our personal and social lives.
