Background





The Navajbai Ratan Tata Trust (NRTT) and

Infrastructure Cell (TIC), which aims to work towards strengthening 
infrastructure in the field of performing arts. The Cell will look at 
infrastructure issues holistically and lend advisory support as well as monetary 
support to projects on a case-by-case basis. An Advisory Panel consisting of 
eminent architects, theatre directors and designers has been set up to guide and 
strengthen TIC's work. The panel consists of Bansi Kaul (Theatre Director), 
Himanshu Burte (Architect), Jagan Shah (Architect), Naveen Kishore (Publisher 
and Lighting Designer), Sunil Shanbag (Theatre Director), and Vivek Patankar 
(Architect and Acoustics Expert).

Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT) and is one of the leading funding organisations of 
Arts and Culture in India. The Tata Trusts' Arts and 
Culture portfolio is committed to strengthening and developing the field of arts 
through its diverse programmatic interventions of funding art institutions, arts 
initiatives, research in arts, advanced learning in the arts and collaborative 
field interventions.
