Sanjib Bhowmik is the visionary founder behind Khwahish, a platform changing the creative industry. Khwahish connects artists with audiences, helping them discover, enjoy, and support diverse talents in one place. It’s more than just a platform; it’s a movement to support artists, making a meaningful impact on their lives.
Khwahish solves a big problem by giving artists the visibility and support they need. Many talented artists struggle to find the right platform for recognition and opportunities. This leads to unrealized potential and missed opportunities. Khwahish was created to solve this problem, providing a space where artists can showcase their work and monetize their talent.
The inspiration behind Khwahish came from Sanjib’s own experiences. He witnessed how many talented artists struggled without the resources and platforms to make their dreams a reality. Seeing their untapped potential inspired him to create a space where artists can grow and be recognized for their work.
Khwahish's mission is to empower artists by giving them a unified digital platform for growth, collaboration, and monetization. The vision of Khwahish is clear: to become the world’s leading platform where every artist’s dream has a stage. The company aims to create an ecosystem where creativity can flourish, and talent knows no limits.
What makes Khwahish different is its unique 360° approach. The platform integrates artist booking, show ticketing, digital calendars, dynamic pricing, and even a marketplace for artist-related products. This comprehensive solution sets it apart from other platforms in the industry, offering everything an artist or audience could need in one place.
Sanjib's journey hasn’t been without challenges. The lack of funding, attracting talent, and convincing people to believe in the idea were tough hurdles. But through persistence, support from a few believers, and a strong vision, he overcame these challenges. The biggest breakthrough came when artists and audiences started engaging with Khwahish, not just as a platform but as a movement they believed in.
Khwahish's growth strategy for the next five years focuses on nationwide expansion, artist onboarding, and improving technology. The goal is to build India’s largest creative talent marketplace and eventually take Khwahish to global heights, aiming for unicorn status. The company plans to offer more monetized content through Khwahish Live Studio, further enhancing its value.
Sanjib has valuable advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. He believes that starting with belief, staying honest about challenges, and putting in the work is the key to success. His story is a testament to the power of perseverance and staying true to your purpose.
One of the most rewarding moments for Sanjib was when a small-town artist received their first paid gig through Khwahish. Performing for the first time in front of a crowd, the artist told the team, “You made me feel seen.” Stories like these are what drive Khwahish to keep growing.
Khwahish isn’t just an app; it’s a platform built on passion and purpose. Sanjib’s vision is clear: to give every dreamer the chance to shine. If you believe in art and creativity, Khwahish invites you to join the movement.
