Sharing Artistik License's journey and values
Hey I'm Manojna and welcome to Artistik License
Meet Artistik License, lovingly known as AL, born as a humble blog in 2013 with a simple mission: to make legal wisdom easily accessible for artists.
The very first post was met with open arms and enthusiasm from the creative community, and your enduring support guides the work I do today.
​
Founded by me, Manojna Yeluri – an entertainment, intellectual property rights law, and artist rights lawyer – Artistik License offers legal counsel to creative professionals, empowering them to make informed choices about their artistic endeavours and careers.
AL is more than a consultancy; it's a labour of love and a realization of a dream to reshape the creative ecosystem in India and beyond, one contract at a time.
​
AL is committed to unraveling the complexities of entertainment law, music law, art law, creative entrepreneurship, performers' rights, creative resilience and artist contracts. If you're an artist or creative professional seeking business clarity, legal support and industry perspective, know that AL is here for you every step of the way.
Core Values
"After a decade of hustle, it became essential to pause and reflect on Artistik License's future direction. After much consideration, here are AL's core values. These serve as a North Star, guiding the work and relationships I aim to nurture together with you."
