Artistic Spacez: Sohan Mondal’s Vision for Accessible Creative Spaces Across India
At just 20, Sohan Mondal is redefining India’s creative economy with Artistic Spacez—a platform making shoot and event spaces accessible for creators across major cities.
At just 20 years old, Sohan Mondal is turning heads in India’s creative and entrepreneurial circles not for following the traditional path, but for building a platform that’s transforming the way creators access shoot and event locations across the country. From a small-town dreamer near Kolkata to the founder of Artistic Spacez, Sohan’s story is more than a tale of business success; it's a journey fueled by passion, resilience, and a deep understanding of the creative community’s needs.
From Dance Floors to Dynamic Dreams
Sohan’s love for the arts began early. A passionate dancer from a small town near Kolkata, he was always drawn to the creative world. After completing high school, he moved to Pune to pursue engineering. But instead of letting his creative flame fade, he doubled down on teaching dance while balancing academics.
It was during his time as a dance instructor that Sohan experienced a
recurring challenge: finding affordable, accessible locations for rehearsals,
shoots, and small events. The few available options were often overpriced,
difficult to book, or simply not suited to the needs of independent creators.
That frustration sparked an idea.
“I realized that if I was facing this challenge, thousands of others were too,” says Sohan. “That’s when Artistic Spacez was born.”
Building a Platform with Purpose
Launching a tech-enabled platform while managing engineering classes and dance lessons wasn’t easy. Sohan juggled responsibilities, faced self-doubt, and worked with limited resources. But his mission to simplify location booking for creators kept him focused.
Artistic Spacez officially launched in Pune and has since expanded to
Mumbai, Bengaluru, and New Delhi, now boasting 500+ verified properties,
including studios, farmhouses, villas, and in-house designed sets. Whether it's
a film shoot, a pre-wedding event, or a photography project, creators can now
find the perfect space through a seamless process tailored to their needs.
More than just a marketplace, Artistic Spacez is fast becoming a movement. “We’re here to empower creators. Our goal is to be the go-to platform that supports their vision, not just logistically, but also educationally,” Sohan shares.
Recognition & Revolution
The innovative approach of Artistic Spacez has not gone unnoticed. The platform was recently selected for recognition at the Gandhipreneur event hosted by Our Mitti Foundation at Rajghat, New Delhi, a prestigious gathering of socially driven entrepreneurs. Additionally, Sohan was honored with the prestigious accolades: the "Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2025" award at the New Age Business Summit hosted by the Global Triumph Foundation, and the same title at the Excellence Awards 2025 organized by ANE Awards.
Prominent publications like Hindustan Metro and Deccan Live have spotlighted Sohan’s journey, describing his rise as “a fusion of creativity, tech, and community building.”
A Vision Rooted in Accessibility and Growth
Artistic Spacez stands out not just for its listings but for its human-centered model. Users simply fill out a form detailing their project needs, and a platform executive guides them through suitable space options, no endless searching, no hidden costs.
Sohan envisions an even brighter future. “We’re working on launching an academy that will train upcoming creators in shoot production, event management, and space utilization. We want to nurture a generation of creators who don’t just dream, but know exactly how to execute those dreams.”
A Message to Young Dreamers
What’s most inspiring about Sohan isn’t just his startup, it’s the mindset behind it. He believes that “Your passion, combined with persistence, is the key to overcoming any challenge. And remember, age is just a number.”
He’s living proof. In just a few years, Sohan transformed a personal pain point into a national platform that serves India’s booming creator economy. And he’s only just getting started.
The Road Ahead
Sohan’s long-term goal is to make Artistic Spacez a household name not just in India but across the globe, a “home for creators” where finding the right space is just the beginning. With plans to expand into Tier 2 cities and develop a creator-focused knowledge ecosystem, he’s laying the foundation for a more inclusive, empowered creative industry.
In a world where the right space can make or break a project, Artistic
Spacez is setting a new standard. Thanks to Sohan Mondal’s vision, passion, and
unstoppable drive, the future of India’s creative community looks brighter and
more accessible than ever.
