The Akanksha Foundation's children were taught to see the world through Van Gogh, MF Hussain, Jamini Roy, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Banksy — and then asked to look at their own lives through the same eyes. The results are on view at Khotachi Wadi, Girgaum, Mumbai until 7 June 2025.

Before he built MB&F, Maximilian Büsser grew Harry Winston's watchmaking revenue tenfold, then walked away from the summit of that career entirely.
