“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.”
― Thomas Merton
Most people across the globe regard Atul Punj as the successful Chairman of Punj Lloyd, under whose aegis, the company has ventured into various sectors with the virtue of diversification at its core. But Mr. Punj ‘s penchant for art is one aspect which separates him from other businessmen. Famously called ‘Mickey Punj’ by his friends, Atul Punj has an exquisite taste in art, which is more than clearly reflected in the limited edition calendars that Punj Lloyd has been releasing since 2003.
Unlike conventional calendars launched by other companies, the ones launched by Punj Lloyd are a sheer work of art, rendering pride of place to the walls they adorn. Crafted by talented artists, experienced or young, calendars have become synonymous with the company’s vision of always striving to create something extraordinary and beyond the discernible.
Comprising an eclectic array of art forms, ranging from photographic mosaics to resplendent paintings and prints, the calendars reflect upon the journey undertaken by Punj Lloyd, encompassing diversity, innovation and an extension of cross-cultural links.
The themes for these calendars are often inspired from the workings of the company. While the ‘ant donning a hat’ is an ode to the workers toiling bravely in rough terrains, the claws of crab are analogous to the excavators and the dozers used in construction.
Atul Punj’s undying passion for art is clear from his remarks, “In depths of art I find a peace second to none. It lends a larger purpose to life”. Mr. Punj’s brainchild, the idea behind these calendars is to promote art and give a belvedere to the talented artists to display their craft.
