Maya Bazaar is India’s largest in-person inclusive marketplace, bringing together queer, DBA, marginalised communities and allies in a vibrant space celebrating creativity, entrepreneurship, art, music, food and diversity.
Launched in 2021 by Road to Utopia, a queer feminist DEI consulting firm, the festival began as a platform for LGBTQIA+ business owners, artists and performers and has grown into a wider cultural movement that connects community, creativity and commerce.
The 8th edition, Maya Bazaar 8.0, returns to Bengaluru at The Lalit Ashok, expanding its platform to welcome talented entrepreneurs, artists, creators and performers from other marginalised communities as well.
With previous editions in Goa, Shimla and Bengaluru, Maya Bazaar continues to create spaces where diverse communities can showcase their work, build livelihoods and connect with audiences.
