We would like to congratulate you Arushi Kapoor about her recent recognition by Forbes.
At the age of 29, she has already acquired a unique place in the global art world. As a celebrated art consultant and founder of The Agency Art House, she has built a reputation for discernment and an unwavering commitment to nurturing diversity in the industry and empowering emerging artists. This year, Forbes recognized her impact and named Kapoor in the prestigious 30 Under 30 list for 2026.
“Arushi is an incredibly impressive individual and a vibrant force. She brings an innate sense of discretion along with a dynamic, infectious energy to her work. Her passion really shines through,” says Mauricio UmanskiCEO and founder of The Agency. “Congratulations to Arushi for this well-deserved honor.”
“This recognition is an honor and a meaningful reflection of what we value most at The Agency Art House: transparency, integrity and a more thoughtful, client-centric approach to art advice,” said Kapoor.
Forbes selects its 30 Under 30 honorees through a rigorous process that reviews thousands of entries, asking industry sources and past honorees for their recommendations. Candidates are assessed by Forbes staff and a panel of independent, expert judges based on funding, revenue, social impact, scale, inventiveness and potential. All persons listed must be 29 years or younger as of December 31, 2025.
Kapoor leads The Agency Art House, a team of talented art advisors, and the company’s art services, including a bespoke advisory practice that connects collectors and investors with galleries and respected art institutions. She helps clients build thoughtful portfolios built on long-term value and featuring exceptional works from both leading and emerging artists. She also leads a newly developed arts staging service to bring and present listed buildings in their best possible light.
While art acquisition and building an asset class for clients are part of her unique talent, her passion for art goes beyond acquisition. She believes that art should be meaningfully integrated into the spaces and lives in which she lives. “For me, it’s never just about posting artwork,” says Kapoor. “It’s about living a life imbued with meaning, beauty and lasting value.”
Her philosophy underlies the approach of The Agency Art House. Kapoor and her coast-to-coast team provide highly personalized guidance to art collectors and investors, building on their long-standing relationships with leading galleries, acclaimed artists and prestigious auction houses. The result is a highly transparent and thoughtful collecting experience that encourages customers to discover and learn as they build their personal collection.
Kapoor brings more than a decade of experience in art collection, private consulting, philanthropy, curatorial and entrepreneurship. She is widely known for creating immersive art experiences in residential, hospitality and institutional settings, through a visionary curatorial lens. Her work consistently reflects a broader mission: to change the art world for the better by making art more accessible to all and elevating underrepresented voices.
Her dedication extends to her philanthropic work. She is a member of the UNICEF Next Gen Board, Tate Modern’s South Asian Acquisitions Committee, the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami’s Young Collectors Board, and LACMA’s Future Arts Collective. She is also the author of talking art, a publication that can be seen in renowned museums, including Tate Modern in London.
Recognized as one of the youngest and most influential female art dealers, Kapoor continues to shape the art world with her innovative approach to curation and her skill at promoting artists through private, intimate events. Her recording op Forbes The 30 Under 30 list reflects her unique vision and marks an important milestone in her young and blossoming career.
