You have to take your work home, stay on your toes 24x7, but the sisters are not complaining. “Gallery Kolkata will continue working in close association with the best of Indian modern and contemporary artists. We will make sure that young talented artists achieve their rightful place and global audience,” says Meghna.

And their job at hand includes expanding to important art destinations like New York, London, Dubai and Hong Kong. They also have plans up their sleeves to showcase Indian artists in collaborative shows nationally and internationally.

Though the city, being a hub of art and culture, is quite indulgent when it comes to fields like the Agarwalas, the sisters agree there are miles to go.

“People here still like taking directions from men. And there’s a little conservatism still around in the city compared to Delhi and Mumbai, we have seen, when we were working on the family business,” laugh the sisters.
