Artist’s impressionThe people behind Saaj
Saaj is guided by a Festival Mentor and Patron who have shaped how India presents itself to the world, and led by two Festival Directors who have built the Punjab Cultural Project.
Where Culture Means Business
The Punjab Cultural Project is building the ecosystem and infrastructure to transform India’s heritage from a nostalgic asset into a dynamic economic force. By meaningfully connecting culture and commerce, it translates a rich cultural legacy into equitable, concrete economic opportunities for all stakeholders. Its mission: to ensure India’s 5,000 years of cultural legacy is ready to thrive for the next 5,000.

The concerns of The Asian Heritage Foundation encompass the cultures, traditions, public affairs, arts and sciences of all regions of Asia. It initiates programmes that span research and documentation, training, transmission, promotion and conservation of the continent’s diverse heritage. It seeks civil-society participation in a movement for a modern continent by serving international collaborations involving cross-cultural dialogue, and supports projects that reconcile the frictions between people, technology and nature, between the old and the new, and between East and West, as they appear in cultural production and services.
Places are few, and the top partnerships are one per category. Once a category is taken, it closes.
