Seeing Differently: Pramod Bhasin on Art, Insight and Innovation

This episode of Art Unscripted features a thoughtful conversation with Pramod Bhasin—Founder of Genpact, Co-founder and Trustee of Plaksha University, and a collector who approaches art not as private ownership, but as a shared public experience. Rather than collecting for personal spaces, Pramod speaks about placing art in institutions like Plaksha University, where it is seen, questioned, and appreciated by many—allowing art to spark dialogue, shape thinking, and influence generations beyond a living room. The conversation explores: • Why art belongs in public and educational spaces • How art can influence thought, culture, and social imagination • How creativity and design shape problem-solving • The intersection of art, design, innovation, and impact “𝘼𝙧𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙—𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨.” An episode for collectors, educators, and anyone interested in how art gains meaning when it reaches beyond the self.
