Our Story
The Rooftop story began in 2020, when our founder Kartik Gaggar set out to reimagine how people connect with culture and art. What started as a dream to build something beautiful for Indian art - a space where master artisans and art lovers can thrive off each other, quickly became a collective vision.
One small circle turned into a community (literally, The Circle Community), and after two wild years filled with persistence, passion, and not to forget a global pandemic... Rooftop was born.
Rooftop wasn’t just about learning to paint or scroll through pretty pictures. It was about something deeper—about giving master artists a digital stage, and giving curious minds a chance to connect, explore, and create with them. We brought ancient art forms online, not to modernize them, but to make them reachable—so anyone, anywhere, could feel their magic. Today, our Indian Art courses are truly one of the most sustainable ways to safeguard and expand the legacy of India’s best artists.
The love for traditional Indian arts, inspired us to dream bigger—and we created Artventures: a playful, beautifully illustrated book series that turns 6 traditional Indian art into hands-on, creative fun. It's our way of blending heritage with imagination and making these traditional Indian artforms more available for the next generation.
With live, interactive workshops, we made it possible for anyone, anywhere to learn directly from the masters—in real-time, making a real connection. We’re partnered with government organisations, international pageants, schools and corporates to add a bit of art and creativity to these spaces. Through Rooftop art lovers around the world have a front-row seat to art and creativity.
Today, Rooftop is a place to get inspired, get messy, and get making. We’ve still got Indian art in our soul—but we’re inviting more voices to the table. More tools. More play. More perspective. Because creativity doesn’t fit into one box. And we’re here for all of it.
