This is a booking agency for the puppeteers, magicians, acrobats, folk singers, dancers and drummers of Kathputli Colony. You build a show list with short videos and fixed prices, book artists for school shows, hotel evenings, mall events, office functions and weddings, and handle travel, payment and a written agreement for each show. Later, you can add puppet-making workshops for schools and sell hand-made string puppets.
Kathputli Colony, at Shadipur Depot in West Delhi, is often described as the world's largest community of street performers, many of them families from Rajasthan. From 2014, families began moving to a transit camp at nearby Anand Parbat so that the old site could be rebuilt as flats. The families live a short drive from the malls, hotels and wedding venues around Rajouri Garden, all places that book live shows.
You need little money and no special licence, but you do need the trust of the artist families. Share the fee openly, pay on time and put terms in writing. Book only adult performers. Work is uneven: busy in the winter and wedding season, slow in summer and the monsoon.
Reach school principals, hotel event teams, mall managers, office admin staff and wedding planners, and post show videos on social media.
