Our story · AERA
AERA brings independent artists and the people looking for creative work into one thoughtful marketplace.
How AERA began
AERA is built around a simple belief: creative people and the people who need their work deserve an easier way to find each other.
We’re creating a home where independent artists can present their services, portfolios, and prices, while buyers can look for the right fit for a local or remote project. The idea starts in Lucknow and is designed to connect creative work across India.
Who we are
AERA is a two sided marketplace for independent artists and the buyers, teams, and businesses who want to work with them. We’re building the tools to make discovery, clear expectations, and better creative partnerships easier.
Starting in Lucknow · Open to creative work across India
Our vision
We want independent talent to be easier to discover and creative work to begin with a clear, confident connection.
Our promise
Artist applications are reviewed before profiles become public, and profiles give buyers a clearer view of each artist’s work and services.
What we offer
Explore services from independent artists and find people whose work fits your project.
Artist profiles bring together services, portfolios, and pricing to make it easier to compare options.
Search nearby, across India, or for remote friendly creative work wherever your project takes you.
Creative services currently include photography, design, film, and more, with new talent and categories added as they’re reviewed.

Meet our founder
Entrepreneur & content creator · Lucknow
Rishabh has a passion for creativity, visual storytelling, and building new ideas. Through his experience in content creation, he saw a gap between creative talent and the people who need it. Finding the right photographer, videographer, editor, designer, or creative space often meant navigating multiple platforms, conversations, and uncertainties.
That observation became the foundation of AERA.
His vision is to create a platform where creative professionals can showcase their talent, businesses can discover the right people, and meaningful collaborations can happen more easily. Starting in Lucknow, he aims to build more than a marketplace: a space where creativity meets opportunity, talent gets recognised, and ideas find the people who can bring them to life.
