Every biography is first written in English, Gujarati or Hindi. Once finalised, it can be carefully transcreated into any other language (or languages) of the client's choice, so that a family's story remains accessible across generations and geographies.
Certain projects of exceptional historical or cultural significance are undertaken by Gyaanka on a curated, invitation basis rather than as commissioned assignments.
