Hindustan Trading Company

Hindustan Trading Company is the legendary art and craft materials store in Royapettah, beloved by artists across India. This is the place you come to when you want that hard to find paint for your acrylic pour or that sable brush you’ve been saving for. The store has grown over time and spilled out into other shop spaces on the same floor of the complex - each outpost devoted to one category of art material- so you have a store for just paints, and one for paper and canvasses and then of course there is the main store where you get pretty much everything under the sun that you would need to create a painting or work with resin or clay. They bring the best materials from around the world and have knowledgeable staff to help you make choices according to your skill and requirements. The store runs an extensive schedule of paid art workshops held at different venues in the city conducted by local art experts. It’s a great way to spend a Sunday morning. Their online store is great and very efficient.
