BarterCollabsterby Tarashastra

An upcoming creator programme

Products meet
perspective.

Good collaborations start with a product worth exploring and a creator with something to say. We bring them together around original work.

I’m a brand I’m a creator

Conceived and managed by Tarashastra. Preparing our first programme in India.

THE PRODUCT

A possibility
worth exploring.

THE PERSPECTIVE

The programme

A product partnership
with a clear creative purpose.

BarterCollabster is an upcoming programme for collaborations where creators use a product, make something meaningful and share the experience with their audience.

OUR APPROACH

The finished work
leads the story.

The process makes it useful.

More substance in every collaboration

A design, a film, a piece of music, a working prototype. We build each brief around a real output, supported by product demonstrations and an honest account of the workflow.

Product support, any cash compensation, deliverables and usage rights are agreed before the work begins. Tarashastra coordinates the programme from onboarding through reporting.

For creators

Your craft.
A project to make it count.

Bring your perspective, portfolio and curiosity. We’re inviting expressions of interest from creators who want to make original work and explain how they made it.

  • A project brief aligned with your discipline
  • Product and compensation terms agreed upfront
  • Room for an authentic creative perspective
  • A clear publication and reporting plan
Share your portfolio Interest does not guarantee selection or a product.

A few useful details

Before we collaborate.

Is BarterCollabster already running campaigns?

We’re preparing our first programme and welcoming expressions of interest. We will announce confirmed partners and creators once agreements are in place.

Are collaborations product-only or paid?

The structure can include product sponsorship and an agreed cash honorarium. Each brief sets out the deliverables, compensation, product ownership or return terms, and usage rights before a creator accepts.

Do I need a particular follower count?

We consider the quality of your work, relevance to the brief, audience engagement and ability to deliver. Share your portfolio and channel links so we can assess fit for an upcoming programme.

How are results measured?

We track agreed outputs, publication links and available platform analytics. Follower counts, views and unique reach are different measures and are reported separately.

What happens when I contact you?

The contact buttons open your own email app with a draft. Nothing is submitted through this page. Share only the details needed to discuss the programme, such as your portfolio or a product brief. You can ask us to delete your enquiry by emailing the same address.
