A2Z Valuers — Government Approved Art Appraisal
A2Z Valuers is a Delhi-headquartered Government Approved Valuation practice led by Nitesh Shrivastava — Government Approved Valuer and Proprietor, operating across 250+ professional valuation services across India.
The art appraisal practice combines the statutory authority of Section 34AB Government Approved Valuer registration with deep knowledge of the Indian art market — the PAG modernists and their price history; the contemporary Indian art scene; the Indian miniature and antique traditions; and the gallery and auction house infrastructure through which Indian art is traded.
The practice’s landmark institutional engagements — the ₹50+ crore Mughal jewellery and colonial Indian art valuation of early 2025 and the Income Tax Department’s search-and-seizure art appraisal appointments — confirm the practice’s position at the apex of the Indian art appraisal market.
