Sahapedia.org

Sahapedia.org is an open online resource dedicated to the arts, cultures, and heritage of India. With its slogan "Sahapedia is an open online resource on the arts, cultures, and heritage of India," Sahapedia aims to create knowledge collectively, drawing on experts and practitioners, collaborating with institutions, and through public participation. This endeavor not only provides a platform for registered users to submit material for curation and form communities of interest but also hosts a library, cultural events calendar, and news.

Founded in 2010 and headquartered in India, Sahapedia strives to foster wider public engagement with local histories and institutions while facilitating interchange across regions and languages. The organization also aims to increase public access to museums and government archives by leveraging the potential of the Internet, a medium where information is often scattered and not always reliable.

In pursuit of their mission, Sahapedia plans to focus on various areas such as developing the Library by curating monographs, out-of-print scholarly work, old journals, and unpublished reports, linking their modules with online archives of texts, recordings, and translation, and creating resources for education responsive to local histories and needs. Additionally, their efforts will extend to developing scholarly resources, editing online journals, teaching old scripts online, and utilizing digital interactivity to explain techniques in music, architecture, weaving, and more. The potential for Sahapedia to bridge the gap in accessing and preserving the diverse cultural heritage of India makes it a promising venture for venture capital investors seeking to support initiatives at the intersection of technology, culture, and education.
