I'm not sure about this whole 'consolidation' thing, Asokan is talking about. I mean, 17 years of steady growth isn't bad, but do they really need to refine what's already working? 
It seems like a case of 'good news fatigue', where the focus shifts from pushing boundaries and innovation to just polishing what's already been achieved. And what about the smaller galleries and emerging artists who might not have had as much representation at this year's fair? 
Did they really get left behind in the consolidation phase?

I think its super interesting that they're focusing on inclusivity and accessibility in the art world now. Like, we've been seeing this shift towards making things more diverse and representative for a while, but its cool to see it become a priority at events like this. 
The way they've got artworks at different price points so that galleries and collectors from all walks of life can participate is genius 
. And I love how they're supporting emerging artists - that's so important for keeping the scene fresh and vibrant. 
What I'm a bit worried about, though, is that this fair might become too polished and lose some of its raw energy 
. We'll just have to see how it all plays out 
It's amazing how many talented artists are reimagining traditional techniques with a modern twist – like Girjesh Kumar Singh using bricks from old buildings to create these thought-provoking sculptures... it just goes to show that innovation and sustainability go hand-in-hand, right? 
And I think it's super cool that they're prioritizing inclusivity and accessibility in the art world – who says art has to be expensive?! 
And them institutional partnerships, that sounds like a total setup to me. They're just tryin' to get more people on board so they can control the narrative and dictate who gets to be a part of this "vibrant" art scene.
It's like they're tryin' to distract us from the real issues while they're makin' a profit off their "art". I mean, come on, 150 galleries in one place? That's just a whole lotta noise, if you ask me. 
. But seriously, it's dope to see how the India Art Fair is pushing for inclusivity and accessibility – galleries at all price points? That's a win-win for everyone! 
. And, of course, who wouldn't want to see more of Girjesh Kumar Singh's brick sculptures?
