A letter from orange chowk

We started orange chowk because we were tired of seeing how creatives and designers are seen in society.

There was a time they helped shape culture. Somewhere along the way, that weight got smaller, especially here.

But things are shifting. And we want creatives to understand what they actually hold.

Not just talent. Not just skill. But the ability to shape how people think, feel, build, and remember.

That is a big responsibility. And very few people are helping them see it clearly.

That's why rooms like this matter to us.

So many creatives already have a vision. They know what they want to build. They have a north.

What they usually don't have is clarity on the path.

Not because they lack talent. But because very few of them get to sit in a room with someone who has actually done it, someone who has built something real, stayed rooted in where they come from, and still made it travel.

That's why we kept coming back to Subko.

Subko isn't just a place; it's a blueprint. It's proof that you can build culture from India, for the world, without compromising on intention.

And that stayed with us.

Because if we were to build a room around this idea, it should be with people who have actually lived it.

That's the room we've been thinking about. And honestly, that's why we're writing to you.

A room for people who are building with intention.
A conversation with someone who has done it for real.
A curated room of 40–50 creatives, designers, artists, founders, and cultural builders.
One direct conversation at Subko Bandra with Rahul / the founders of Subko.
Not a panel. Not a podcast. Not a performance.

We built this because we genuinely believe creatives need a space like this.
If Subko believes that too, we'd love to figure out what doing this together looks like.

What we're thinking
orange chowk is a community of designers and creative professionals building across India. One of our core gatherings is Real Talk, a curated room of 40 to 50 creatives, brought together around a conversation that comes straight from a founder's journey.

We want that conversation to be with Rahul. At Subko, where it all started. The topic we've been thinking about is what it actually takes to build culture from India, for the world. No podium. No podcast. Just a room full of people who are genuinely curious, and one honest conversation.
