Taxi Fabric: how one start-up is changing the face of Mumbai’s taxis.
By John Ballot
A Mumbai start-up consisting of local graphic designers and artists is changing the look and feel of the city’s iconic yellow-and-black taxis.
Taxi Fabric was started in 2013 by 28-year-old designer and entrepreneur Sanket Avlani. A collective of young designers and painters, Taxi Fabric transforms the interiors of taxis and auto-rickshaws into works of art in order to give exposure to emerging artists.
