Meet the 88-year-old queen of Indian philately


The cheese toast and coffee were on side tables. Spread across the dining table, at Damayanti Pittie’s Malabar Hill flat in Mumbai, was her award-winning collection of pre-independence ink and hand-stamps.
Pittie, 88, is the president of the Philatelic Congress of India (PCI). We met earlier this week amid her preparations to host the biggest philately event in recent Indian history: the Indian National Philatelic Exhibition (Inpex), which will be held from 18-22 December at Mumbai’s World Trade Centre.
While the exhibition is expected to have over 250 contestants, Pittie cannot participate. “I already won the national Grand Prix in 2000," she says. “I might show in the non-competitive section but we will have to see if there’s space...." Later, I procure a list of the 34 international exhibitions she has been invited to, from Germany to Malaysia, Korea and Australia. She has won prizes in most of them.
