AstaGuru was conceptualised in the year 2008 with the sole purpose of creating a safe and secure platform to conduct online auctions for Modern Indian and Contemporary art. The word AstaGuru is a thoughtful conjugation of ‘Asta’, of Italian origin, which translates to auction and ‘Guru’, the Sanskrit connotation for ‘master’ that indicates our distinguished finesse at being the leaders of auctioneering art and artefacts in India as well as globally. AstaGuru has strived to successfully bridge the gap between prospective buyers and consignors by transcending the limitations of live auctions.

We started the journey by focusing on modern and contemporary Indian art. AstaGuru not only delivers finely curated auction catalogues but also cultivates a promising market for Indian art. Over the years we have added a range of other segments. Our diverse portfolio includes categories such as Jewellery & Fine Silver, Timepieces, Textiles, Celebrity Memorabilia, Rare Books, Numismatic, Philately and Vintage Cars. The latest addition to our portfolio has been that of the furniture and home decor segment.

What sets AstaGuru apart in each category is the fine attention to detail and the unique and rare collectibles we offer our clients. We strongly believe in research-based curation and our auction catalogues are a reflection of that. AstaGuru’s mobile app enables our esteemed bidders to follow and participate in our auctions seamlessly, and in real time. We impart effortless transparency to the process of acquiring and selling art and rare collectibles.
