Orange Chowk started with a simple frustration, creatives in India weren't being seen for what they truly do.
And over time, something shifted. They stopped seeing it themselves.
Creatives shaped culture once.
They still do. They just stopped believing it.
The ability to make people think, feel, build, remember... it's still theirs. It always was.
We're just here to help them see it again. The proof exists. We just keep bringing it to the creatives.
What pulled us to Harkat Studios is that it creates space for experimentation.
Not after the idea is figured out. Before it is.
And that matters, especially now. Because most creative environments reward certainty. Finished work. Clear outcomes. Defined directions.
What Harkat reminds us is that some of the most interesting work begins much earlier. In the stage where you're still exploring. Still questioning. Still figuring out what the work wants to become.
And that's why this conversation matters. Because creatives need to hear from people who have built a space around possibility. People who understand that experimentation is not a detour from the process. It is the process.
And that's why this feels like the kind of conversation that belongs with Karan Talwar and Michaela Talwar, at Harkat Studios.
- orange chowk.
We built this because creatives need a room like this.If Harkat Studios believes that too, let's figure out what doing this together looks like.
We want that to be with Karan Talwar and Michaela Talwar, at Harkat Studios, with a curated room of creatives and designers from the community.
The question on the table: How do you create space for experimentation in a world obsessed with outcomes? No stage. No script. Just the room.
