Literature

The city of Mumbai has been a muse to a generation of poets and novelists. It is only befitting that we amplify the voices of our storytellers. We support literature with bespoke and intelligent programming and have collaborated with authors, academics, intellectuals, publishers, and festivals. We have been the co-curators of the Literature Section of the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival. We maintain a longstanding collaboration with the Jaipur Literature Festival, extending our association from Jaipur to New York,  regularly partnering to hold their Annual Mumbai Curtain Raiser. In the past, we have also supported the Times LitFest and TATA Literature Live! AVID's literature programming has engaged a stellar lineup of authors, writers, journalists, and academics from all over the world, who have mentored aspiring writers and literature enthusiasts in different styles, and have discussed their works in panel discussions and book launches.
