With sustainability being the buzzword these days, people are willing to go second hand – whether in the case of vintage clothes, renewed electronics, or luxury vehicles.

Delhi-based Big Boy Toyz, one of India’s largest standalone pre-owned luxury car brands, has been cashing in on this trend since its launch in 2009.

The startup is housing pre-owned luxury cars from top brands under one roof and aims to put auto enthusiasts in the driver’s seat by offering value for money and focusing on service.

Vadodara-based based surrealist artist Anandajit Ray’s latest art exhibit Miasmatica, currently on display at the Vadehra Art Gallery (VAG) in Delhi, draws heavily on the uncomfortable imageries of life.

According to Roshini Vadehra, Director of VAG, in Miasmatica, Anandajit uses the general aspects of his surrounding environment with humorous yet intense perception. He is interested in pictorialising the intersection between the illusions of thought and the reality of vision, by relying on his awareness of the boundaries between external happenings and internal imprinting.

It is a film-tech platform that acts as a marketplace for independent films. Filmmakers can upload their work, find willing viewers, and eventually buyers from larger OTT platforms.
