The Business of Selling Million-Dollar Art | Kasa Connect Ep:37 , Eirini M
In this episode of Kasa Connect Mumbai Edition, we sit down with Eirini M, founder of MeSo Ventures and Frieze Connect Global Ambassador, to explore the hidden world of luxury art, global collectors, and the future of galleries.
Eirini shares how MeSo Ventures evolved from an art fund into a nomadic art advisory and gallery operating across Mumbai, Delhi, Dubai, London, and New York — without a permanent physical space.
We discuss how artwork is actually priced, the psychology behind buying expensive art, unethical practices within the industry, and why traditional gallery models are becoming outdated. Eirini also opens up about burnout, building trust with high-net-worth clients, supporting emerging artists, and bringing Indian art to a global audience.
If you’re interested in art, luxury brands, entrepreneurship, storytelling, or the business behind creativity, this episode gives a rare behind-the-scenes look into a world most people never get access to.
