Event Description

From a beloved corner in Koramangala to a sprawling cultural landmark in Indiranagar, Atta Galatta has become synonymous with Bangalore’s literary and artistic soul. But how does one transform a passion for books into a sustainable, thriving community hub?

Join us for an exclusive evening as Sathwik NN (Founder of BFC & Co-founder of Aatmeeya) sits down with Subodh Sankar, the visionary co-founder of Atta Galatta, to peel back the curtain on the business and heart behind the brand.

What We’ll Explore:

● The Art of Building a Bookstore: We’ll trace the genesis of Atta Galatta—from the initial spark of an idea to the realities of the journey. Subodh will share the hopes that fueled the start and the artistic choices that give the space its unique identity.

● The Science Behind Creating a Community: A bookstore is more than just shelves; it’s a living ecosystem. We’ll discuss the challenges of building and sustaining a library and the specific kind of community Atta Galatta continues to cultivate.

● The Money Match Behind Making it Happen: Perhaps the most vital piece of the puzzle—the resources. We’re getting into the brass tacks of the time, capital, and grit required to keep a cultural institution financially viable without losing its soul.
