AstaGuru was conceived in 2008 with the aim of creating a secure platform for online auctions of modern and contemporary Indian art and antiques. The name AstaGuru is composed of the Italian word Asta ("auction") and the Sanskrit term Guru ("master"), which is meant to indicate the expertise of the platform. What sets AstaGuru apart in its diverse categories is the attention to detail and firm belief in research-based curation reflected in the auction catalogues.
