Aditi Jaitly Jadeja is the Senior Curator for Performing Arts at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA), where she has been leading the museum’s performing arts wing since its launch in 2022. Under her leadership, KNMA has become a vital part of Delhi’s cultural calendar, curating a diverse array of performances—from Indian classical dance and music to folk traditions and contemporary works. She has been instrumental in launching flagship events such as Centre Stage Weekend, KNMA In the Park, and the Legacy Series, as well as the KNMA Festival which features a different guest curator each year. These have been staged across public spaces and cultural venues in New Delhi like Triveni Kala Sangam, Kamani Auditorium, and Sunder Nursery.

The expansion into performing arts aligns with KNMA’s upcoming state-of-the-art building, a 100,000-square-meter space designed to be a global hub for visual arts, music, dance, and theater, featuring dedicated performance venues for world-class productions and interdisciplinary collaborations. Under Aditi’s leadership, KNMA continues to foster a thriving performing arts ecosystem, bringing together established artists and emerging talents, and setting the stage for even greater engagement in the years to come.

A trained Bharatanatyam dancer, Aditi began her training at the age of seven under Leela Samson and has since performed extensively across India and internationally. As both a soloist and a member of renowned ensembles such as Spanda Dance Company and Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company, she has built a distinguished career in performance, education, and arts curation.
