The Coalition is an incredible opportunity, not just to meet, network and absorb, but it offers a space for young businesses and individuals to be introspective and consider their bigger picture. It's all to easy to be busy being busy - The Coalition offers a space to take time to assess where you are, monitor your own growth and reflect on why you're doing what you're doing.

One of the most necessary and most difficult stepping stones to "making it" is to get face-time with people who already have. I hope The Coalition serves the purpose of making that easier.

What's incredibly nice about the word coalition is that it is clearly an alliance on the basis of action. Most meeting of minds are inspirational in one way or the other, but the real challenge is to create stimuli for immediate action. That's what excites me about TC3—the opportunity (and therefore the challenge).

With TC3, the Coalition has incorporated a range of creative fields into its fold, and I hope this move towards inclusiveness will create opportunities for ideas to collide with one another. When I think about it, we are charged with an immense responsibility to provide equal parts inspiration and tools to build a new creative class. I want to shatter some of the myths about design and bring in practical, actionable ways in which it can be used by anyone.

The Coalition will allow people from all creative streams in India to meet each other, interact, learn different skills and hopefully collaborate. That's what I would like to see from The Coalition - collaboration.

Ours is an industry with many large players, though most of the compelling work is contributed through smaller independent brands and individuals. An opportunity to connect and engage these creatives, who often work on their own within smaller networks is incredibly exciting.

I've been part of TC since two years and its been an incredible experience to be in the middle of young and aspiring entrepreneurs from the creative field.

Being at The Coalition feels like being at N H7 Weekender - minus the music. The vibe, the people, the atmosphere is the happiest I've seen people be at seminars and workshops.

Its an exciting time to be working in the arts and creative industries in India, and platforms like The Coalition are an important part of the sector's growth - providing training, guidance and mentorship to the younger generation of arts professionals is essential to building a healthy ecosystem.
Neysa Mendes
Every time I think of it, it amases me that we've reached a point where we're tossing around the word 'creative entrepreneur' so lightly. That working with the arts is now a legitimate profession. That The Coalition manages to pull all these creative entrepreneurs across India together, and put them in one room, is incredible - the conversations are exciting, the energy is palatable, and the collaboration is necessary for where we are, with the arts in India.
