Draft:Putting Scene

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Putting Scene is an Indian event discovery and ticketing platform based in Bengaluru, Karnataka.[1]Founded by entrepreneur Mannan Amroliwala[1], it began in 2022 as a Whatsapp-based service curating offbeat events and activities in Bengaluru[2][1], before expanding into an online platform for discovering and booking experiences. [3]

Putting Scene covers events and activities across food and drink, music, art and culture, workshops, sports and other recreational categories.[3][4] It also operates Access Pass, a membership program offering access to selected event, private previews and other member experiences. [5]

History

Putting Scene was started by Mannan Amroliwala in Bengaluru in September 2022 as a Whatsapp community for sharing curated recommendations for events and activities in the city. [2]

Amroliwala initially shared an invitation to the community on social media.[2] According to Deccan Herald, around 2,000 people joined within the first 12 hours. [2]By April 2023, Putting Scene had approximately 10,000 followers on Whatsapp. [2]

The service differentiated itself from conventional event aggregators by manually curating a smaller selection of activities[2]. Its early recommendations included art, history and photography events, workshops, sports, film screenings, book exchanges, game nights and heritage-related activities. [2]

The project subsequently expanded beyond its Whatsapp community into a digital event discovery and booking platform[6].[3]

Putting Scene Ventures Private Limited, the company operating the platform, was incorporated in Karnataka on 12 January 2024.[7]

Platform

Putting Scene operates through its website, mobile application and Whatsapp community.[6][3] The platform curates events and experiences taking place in Bengaluru and allows users to discover and book select events. [3]

The platform's listings include cultural events, workshops, food and dining experiences, music, fitness, and other activities.[3] Putting Scene also produces and collaborates on selected experiences in addition to listing events organised by third parties.[8]

Access Pass

Putting Scene operates a membership program called Access Pass. The program provides members with access to selected experiences and benefits offered the platform including exclusive events, private previews, priority access and other member benefits.

Access Pass is offered alongside Putting Scene's regular event discovery and ticket-booking services.[5][3]

Events and collaborations

Putting Scene has also been involved in producing and promoting curated experiences in Bengaluru. [8]Among these is an Egg Puff Crawl, an event exploring Bengaluru's Egg Puff culture through visits to bakeries in the city. [8]The event was covered by The Hindu in 2026.[8]

Putting Scene was also the booking platform for the 2026 edition of Restaurant Week India, a ten-day dining event held across Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi featuring specially curated menus at participating restaurants.[9]

Company

Putting Scene is operated by Putting Scene Ventures Private Limited, an unlisted private company incorporated in Karnataka in January 2024[7]. Mannan Amroliwala is the founder of Putting Scene[7]. [1]
