Through homeBound, we’re looking to create a space where people can come listen to new sounds and experience nightlife with intention. You can expect genres from around the 🌎 like afrobeats, amapiano, kuduro, dembow, baile funk, etc. but also those close to home like south asian folk, qawwali, sufi etc.
Event announcement coming soon so peep this space for more info.

Start-Up Carnival
We've been focused on changing the narrative around #startupculture in the East for a while now and it feels so good when the entire #ecosystem lends it's support and shows up in hordes.
What We Do
Support startups, businesses, individuals & events
Young people in Calcutta are eager to build something new and #MakeCalcuttaRelevantAgain helps them do that. We provide sponsorships to upcoming creators and help them showcase their work with top-notch mentors and industry experts who help them take their creations to the next level.
Our aim is to bring back Calcutta's Glory and not only bring it back but take it to the next level through constant disruption and innovation.
We want to make Calcutta even more relevant, and change its perception of a sleepy city that was the cultural capital to what it actually is; the bustling place full of change-makers shaking up the status quo.

Our Values
Cultural preservation
Preserving Across All Mediums.
Kolkata is a city with a soul, where tradition and modernity coexist, and where every street has a story to tell.
We believe that Kolkata's cultural heritage is an invaluable asset that must be preserved and celebrated.
Innovation
“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”
-Steve Jobs
We encourage and support local entrepreneurs and innovators to create new products, services, and solutions that drive growth and innovation in the city.
Community
Community is not just a group of people, it's a shared identity, a collective purpose, and a shared responsibility.
We prioritize community engagement, working closely with local residents and businesses to create a project that reflects their needs and aspirations.
