When traveling in India, auto-rickshaws, cycle rickshaws, and taxis on the street are the most convenient modes of transport, but since you're already traveling abroad, most tourists naturally opt for the more distinctive auto-rickshaws or cycle rickshaws to experience a bit of the local scenery. In comparison, taxis seem to be far less popular.

A local designer, Sanket Avlani, was determined to change this situation and launched the Taxi Fabric project, inviting designers to completely transform ordinary taxis. These imaginative designers blended their creativity with local culture, creating exquisite and culturally meaningful patterns, which were then printed onto fabric to revamp the taxis’ originally worn interiors. The result was a refreshed cabin space that turned the taxis into Mumbai’s most eye-catching moving art galleries.
