Just as UPI revolutionized fintech by enabling seamless digital transactions, One-TAC is building a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) to transform the experience and entertainment industry across Tourism, Art, and Culture (TAC). It serves as an open and interoperable platform that enhances the discoverability of stakeholders—from local guides and artists to cultural institutions and experience providers—connecting them directly with consumers. By covering offbeat destinations and unique cultural experiences, One-TAC aims to make exploration more accessible, decentralized, and immersive, redefining how people experience and engage with TAC.

Who we are
OneTAC brings together the innumerable colours of India’s tourism, art, and cultural (TAC) landscape, making it accessible and empowering for everyone—from local artisans and small businesses to travellers near and far. Imagine a grid that connects you seamlessly with the unique cultural experiences and hidden gems across India, right from your phone or computer.
OneTAC is a digital, decentralised foundational grid that makes this vision a reality, powered by open, trust-based tools that help local providers to showcase their offerings.
It leverages open transactional networks, registries, verifiable credentials, payment systems, and layers for asset exchange, personalization, and governance—all designed to empower demand and supply participants, enabling better discovery and trusted interactions for everyone involved.
This network doesn’t just make discovering these experiences easier; it helps artists, tour operators and other businesses of this ecosystem, both small and large, grow by connecting them directly with those who want to explore authentic India. By building a foundation of trust and collaboration, OneTAC enables secure transactions and lasting connections in the TAC ecosystem, giving all participants a chance to be seen and valued.
Our Vision
Imagine a world where every artisan, local guide, and cultural performer in India can share their stories and crafts with travellers everywhere, without barriers or middlemen. At OneTAC, our vision is simple: to make India’s rich tourism, art, and culture accessible to everyone. Through an open network, we want each region’s unique heritage to be celebrated, each experience easily discoverable, and every local business empowered to thrive. By creating these connections, OneTAC seeks to spark livelihoods, inspire travellers with unforgettable experiences, and preserve India’s cultural diversity, all while helping communities grow together in a thriving, collaborative space.
Our Story – Why a decentralised model for TAC?
Tourism, art, and culture (TAC) bring people together, enrich lives, and support communities across India. But today, most of the benefits go to popular destinations, while smaller towns, local artisans, and hidden cultural treasures often go unnoticed. This imbalance not only limits growth for these communities but also puts traditional art forms and cultural practices at risk.
At OneTAC, we want to change that by creating a decentralised infrastructure that works for everyone and empowers:
Local Livelihoods
By opening up market access, OneTAC helps local artisans, guides, and performers find opportunities to earn, creating steady jobs and livelihoods across all regions.
Travellers
With OneTAC, travellers can explore authentic, lesser-known cultural experiences and connect with the heart of India’s diverse traditions.
Local Voices
OneTAC hands back control to communities, allowing them to shape and promote their own unique offerings, encouraging a tourism model driven by the people who know their culture best.
Heritage
By connecting people to cultural landmarks and rare art forms, OneTAC plays a role in keeping these traditions alive for future generations.
Through a more inclusive, community-driven network, OneTAC envisions a future where tourism doesn’t just grow economies—it preserves and celebrates the diversity and richness of India’s cultural heritage.
