Pablo Ganguli (born 23 November 1983) is a cultural entrepreneur artist, producer, director and impresario who has created and directed several international festivals, movements and summits of arts, literature, media, film, fashion and culture, through his organisation Liberatum. After starting his career with spearheading cultural missions in Morocco, Russia and India, Ganguli achieved recognition for his role in founding The Liberatum multimedia creative platform.
Ganguli is the mastermind behind leading international cultural diplomacy ventures ranging from Hong Kong to Berlin, New York to Moscow to Istanbul. His ventures forge cultural relations between nations and connect the world's finest minds with each other globally through multidisciplinary cultural programmes, summits and specially curated festivals. Ganguli's organisation Liberatum also promotes environmental, human rights, freedom of speech and other important issues.
Ganguli was born in a Bengali Hindu Brahmin family in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, reportedly the son of an art historian. Some sources state that one of his great-grandfathers was the private secretary to Rabindranath Tagore, the Bengali poet who was Asia's first Nobel laureate. As an infant, Ganguli was brought up by his grandmother. He claimed he had never met his mother, and throughout his childhood was only visited by his art-historian father once a month. He grew up in Kolkata in a creative environment pursuing artistic interests.
In August 2006, a columnist in the Evening Standard of London noted that Ganguli had made 'the remarkable journey from a student studying French in Calcutta to, seemingly, one of the world's leading literary salonistas in just three years'.
The December 2007 issue of the British Esquire magazine announced that it had named Ganguli a runner up at the inaugural 'Esquire Man at the Top Awards' under the category 'Young Entrepreneur of the Year'. Esquire reported that Ganguli's work was proof that entrepreneurial skill can work as well for art as for commerce. In November 2010 and 2011, Ganguli was selected as one of the 1000 most influential figures in London by the Evening Standard.
