ShotIndia was set up with the aim to empower those who are passionate about photography in India to showcase their creativity to the global audience. ShotIndia provides a platform for photographers to upload their work and get paid for it by anyone who uses it.

ShotIndia is an online marketplace that enables photographers to upload their work, and buyers to purchase the images they like. Photographers do not have to pay to upload their work, and they are paid a flat rate of 50% of the selling price of their images. No other online marketplace in India offers such an opportunity.

ShotIndia is a fully owned subsidiary of Mash Audio Visuals Private Limited, an ISO 9001:2000 certified company. We are the only ISO 9001:2000 certified stock agency in India. At present, over 6000 customers in more than 42 countries use our images for their advertising, marketing and publishing needs.

ShotIndia is a labour of love born out of a burning desire to share with the world, India's rich and varied heritage. India is unique in that it has a magical synergy between the past and the present, the old and the new.

India's diversity and complexity comes across through its people who reflect various traditions, cultures and values associated with their geographic locations, distinctive regional customs and habits, foods and festivals. Indians believe in sharing happiness and sorrow together as a community. While doing so, Indians share unique mannerisms and expressions. ShotIndia intends to capture everything about India and encourages photographers to come and upload their work that matches this intent.

ShotIndia is a collective and ongoing endeavour to create a platform for photographers to showcase their talent to the world. It is the brainchild of renowned Indian photographer Sandeep Maheshwari. He is a world record holder in professional photography for organising a 10-hour, 46-minute long photo session by clicking 10,044 different shots of 122 models.
