The Supreet Singh Show

Business


In this deeply reflective and perspective-shifting episode of The Supreet Singh Show, Supreet sits down with Mehak — an economist, art curator, and the mind behind one of Chandigarh’s most thoughtfully built art spaces.


This is not just a conversation about art.


This is a conversation about how we feel, what we ignore, and what truly makes us human.


What starts as a simple conversation… becomes something much deeper


At first glance, art feels distant to most people.


We say things like:


“Mujhe art samajh nahi aata.”


But what if the problem is not understanding…


What if the problem is that we’ve stopped feeling?


Inside this episode:


Supreet and Mehak break down art in the most real, grounded, and relatable way:


Why you don’t need knowledge to experience art

Why art is not about logic — it’s about emotion

How most people disconnect from art without even realizing it

Why exposure matters more than intelligence when it comes to creativity

How art galleries are not just spaces — they are conversations

The side of art no one talks about


This episode also reveals a powerful, lesser-known truth:


Art is one of the strongest long-term investments

Unlike cars, watches, or gadgets — art doesn’t depreciate

Wealthy families have used art as a silent asset class for generations

Today, even young professionals are entering this space

India vs The World: A Cultural Reality Check


A striking comparison emerges:


In countries like Europe, art is part of everyday life from childhood

In India, we’ve always lived with art — from phulkari to crafts —

but somewhere, we stopped valuing it consciously
