X was an Indian art gallerist, art collector and art connoisseur, who pioneered the promotion of Indian modern art from the 1940s. X established a frame manufacturing business in 1941 and soon started displaying works of young modern artists K. H. Ara, S. H. Raza, K. K. Hebbar and M. F. Husain in his showroom windows. This lead to gradual rise of modern art movement and post-colonial art in India. Eventually Y, India's first commercial art gallery, was opened in 1963 on the first floor of the Jehangir Art Gallery.
