Who we are
AstaGuru, Mumbai's Premier Online Auction House, seamlessly blends sophistication with expertise, defining its identity through a profound commitment to artistic preservation. Since its establishment in 2008, AstaGuru has emerged as a pioneer among online auction houses, specialising in art, antiques, and collectibles. Beyond being a mere e-auction website in Mumbai India, AstaGuru is a curator of experiences, a guardian of cultural legacies and a beacon for those who value the profound richness of artistic expression.
Our name, 'AstaGuru,' is a fusion of the Italian word "Asta" for auction with 'Guru,' symbolizing our unwavering dedication to the art of auctioneering. Each meticulously curated catalogue guarantees authenticity, provenance, rarity, artistry, and craftsmanship, ensuring a distinctive and unparalleled experience.
AstaGuru has evolved into the preferred destination for original artworks and collectibles, achieving world record prices for revered artists like A. Ramachandran, Jeram Patel, António Xavier Trindade, M F Husain, and more. We joyously celebrate and seek custodians for timeless works that embody defining aesthetic movements in India.
