Though it seems a distant past, it was not too long ago that we, along with our small dedicated team, stayed up all night in Mumbai monitoring our very first online auction and cheering each incoming bid. In a few short years, however, we have seen what started as our private passion flourish into a strong and successful international business that is being taught about at the colleges we attended!

As we grow and expand in new directions, we would like to take this opportunity to pause and express our thanks to you, our users. Your belief in Saffronart has played a pivotal role in our success, always giving us the support and assurance we've needed to take Modern and Contemporary Indian art to the world.

Today, almost eight years to the day that Saffronart was founded, we have taken your advice and transformed the look and feel of our brand and website to provide you with an even better online experience. We have emerged anew, a global company with deep Indian roots, sporting an innovative interface that keeps your needs topmost in mind with its smooth navigation, improved functionality and new, secure technology platform.

You might have noticed our new logo, an integral part of this make-over. To us, it reflects a company that both embraces and drives change. A company that thrives on growth, while remaining committed to the personal values that led us to where we are today. So, beneath the new design and technology, Saffronart is that same dedicated team, deeply committed to our users and partners, and always aspiring to make your experiences with us pleasurable and memorable.

After listening to what you have had to say over the years, and understanding how you wanted to see us grow, we have designed and developed some new features for the website that include:

1. A comprehensive search facility that displays several examples of the work of particular artists or at particular price points, featured both currently and historically at Saffronart's various events with a single click.
2. A personal space on the site that can be used to manage and track your favourite artists, works of art and auction lots.
3. A new, hassle-free auction platform that automatically updates bidding values, and makes your bidding process personal, intuitive and effortless. The platform also allows us to extend our online auctions to new categories like jewelry, which will be formally launched this fall with our first sale of Fine Jewels.

We know that Saffronart means and owes as much to you as it does to us, so please keep sharing your thoughts and suggestions with us, through [email protected]
