This website is designed, written, and maintained by the studio. The visual identity — dark ground, gold accent, ivory typography, thin technical lines, and gravitational motion — is the MATRIX visual operating system, established across all studio publications.

Where a document is generated through the studio's own intelligence architecture — including Decision Ledger records, assessment outputs, and any AI-assisted composition — this is stated in the document itself. The studio does not present AI-generated content as purely human-authored, and does not present human-authored content as AI-generated.

Section 07

Unless a separate written agreement provides otherwise, all matters arising in connection with this website, its content, or the studio's services are governed by the laws of India.

The courts at Kolkata, West Bengal shall have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any dispute arising from or relating to this website or the studio's services, subject to any arbitration provision in an applicable Statement of Work.

Where a dispute concerns a research programme conducted with an institutional partner, the dispute resolution provisions of the applicable research collaboration agreement govern.

Section 08

A final word.

An imprint is a signature. It says: this is who we are, this is where we are, this is how to reach us, and this is the record on which we stand.

If any part of this record is unclear, or if you believe any statement here is inaccurate, write to us. We would rather correct the record than let it stand incorrectly.
