The Pomegranate Workshop is a 15 year old Mumbai based arts education company.
After 14 years of being in physical classrooms, Pomegranate successfully migrated with great efficiency and success online in 2020 to continue delivering our services seamlessly during the pandemic and we are now a 100 percent online company with the same quality standards we have maintained for 14 years!
In 2012 Pomegranate was selected through an international call for applications as a mentee company of the UK based Cherie Blair Foundation helmed by Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Selected as a ‘standout’ performer by the Cherie Blair Foundation in 2013, Pomegranate has been featured as a case study in a research report and film presented at the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs (ANDE) Annual Conference in Glen Cove, New York.
