  • Sana Rezwan

    Founding Chairwoman

    Sana Rezwan currently serves as the Executive Director at Prestige Group, one of India’s leading real estate and property development companies. Her role is to expand and advance her family's business across Northern India, as well as leading the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.

    Rezwan previously set up and ran The Art Lab Studio, an art marketing agency specialising in strategy and partnerships from New York until 2022. Through her business, she developed and implemented experiential programmes through innovative collaborations with local and global luxury brands, non-profit institutions, galleries and artists. Her expertise includes event curation, launch strategy, cross-promotional activities and VIP audience development through the engagement of contemporary art with fashion, entertainment, lifestyle and consumer culture.

    In 2022, Rezwan founded the Public Arts Trust of India (PATI), a non-profit organisation that works at a grassroots and international level to democratise arts and culture for all. Based in the Indian state of Rajasthan (between Jaipur and Jodhpur), PATI’s initiatives foster a more holistic growth of arts and culture through artist residencies, commissioning, curating, education and professional development programmes and community exchange, reinforcing creativity as an important part of everyday life regardless of a person’s association or generation.

    Among PATI’s initiatives are Jaipur Art Week and Jodhpur Arts Week, two annual events which activate historic locations across both cities. Now entering Edition 4.0, Jaipur Art Week (27th Jan – 3rd Feb 2025) has grown to become an important incubator for early career artists and creatives to expand their horizons and gain visibility in the international art world. Celebrating diverse perspectives in contemporary art, design, and jewellery, Jodhpur Arts Week Edition 1.0 will take place from the 17th – 27th September 2025 uniting artists, designers, makers, and thinkers from across the globe.

    Rezwan is active with several arts and charitable organisations. She sits on the Advisory Arts Council of Harvard University's South Asia Institute and belongs to the board of The Art Production Fund and has supported Healing Arts. She is also a patron to the South Asian Modern and Contemporary Department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

  • Dr Rezwan Razack

    Trustee

    Rezwan Razack is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of the Prestige Group, one of India’s leading real estate and property development companies. His exceptional business acumen, vision and guidance have been instrumental in the company’s growth for over the last 40 years.

    Razack is not a person to be limited by business goals alone. A philanthropist by nature, he dedicated himself to co-ordinating the ‘Terry Fox Run’– a fund raising event in aid for Cancer Research in Bangalore. For this effort, The Governor General of Canada David Johnston, during his State visit in 2014, awarded a Medallion and Scroll to Rezwan Razack. He staunchly supports the PRAY (Pain Relief and You) Foundation, which provides medical assistance to the underprivileged.

    Razack is an enthusiastic collector of Indian Banknotes. This hobby, fuelled by his passion and quest for knowledge in a period of over 55 years, has created one of the world’s most comprehensive collection of Indian Paper Money and related collectibles since inception to the present. With exhaustive scholarly research and study, Razack co-authored ‘The Revised Standard Reference Guide to Indian Paper Money’, released in January 2012. This guide is the single, most reliable point of reference on Indian Paper Money. In 2017, Razack authored his 2nd book ‘One Rupee - One Hundred Years 1917-2017’, to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the issue of the One Rupee note in India. Razack regularly writes meticulously researched articles for several national and international numismatic publications.

    Currently Razack is the Chairman of International Bank Note Society – India Banknote Collectors’ Chapter (IBNS-IBCC).

    Razack’s long cherished dream – ‘Rezwan Razack’s Museum on Indian Paper Money’ dedicated to Indian Paper Money became a reality in Bangalore, India in 2020 and is now open to public.

    In 2021, the G. D. Goenka University conferred Rezwan Razack with the degree ‘Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.) Honoris Causa’ in recognition of his exemplary contribution in the field of Indian Paper Money.

    Today Razack is synonymous as an internationally recognised numismatist, scholar and mentor. His commitment to excellence and invaluable contributions to the advancement of numismatic knowledge transcend borders that exemplify national patriotism.
