Hiya Works
The company is starting with its first online property in the form of HiyaWorks.com (in short Hiya), a social networking platform for artists which is a single integrated and comprehensive ecosystem for
various forms of Art and Creativity. With onslaught of Mobile network and Smartphones, penetration of Internet is growing exponentially.
And with the advent of new age E-Commerce properties and Market Places, everything is becoming democratized, especially in developing countries like China and India. Various forms of art predominantly have been the privileges of a few and heavily dependent on the network that one commands. This is a space which needs to be democratized. Historically career in various forms of Art has been challenging, with limited space and scope for mass participation. However, with Millennials and Gen Z being more demanding about career choices and at the same time appreciating art in various formal and informal channel, art is becoming more and more accessible, however it is constrained because of logistical challenges.
HIYA is a single unified social networking and utility platform for Artists. It is relevant not only for Individuals and Groups, but also for Training Institutes & Art Schools and Event Organisers, making the platform a complete ecosystem for Artist & Creative people, from amateur to professionals.
