Chemould has been instrumental in establishing the reputations of many now well-known Indian modern artists. MF Husain, Tyeb Mehta, and SH Raza, who emerged on the first wave of India's modernist and contemporary art movements, first exhibited with Chemould. Under the directorship of their daughter Shireen Gandhy since 1988, Chemould Prescott Road has expanded its roster of artists to represent those working in experimental work, and its exhibition program spans younger, mid-career, and senior artists. Chemould also hosted the first solo exhibition of the late Bhupen Khakhar, Ram Kumar, Nalini Malani, Atul Dodiya, Anju Dodiya, Jitish Kallat, Reena Saini Kallat, KH Ara, Bal Chhabda, Krishen Khanna, Jehangir Sabavala, Gaitonde, KK Hebbar, Vivan Sundaram, and Jivya Soma Mashe all exhibited with Chemould. Targeting the young collector and the millennial, Shireen Gandhy conceptualized Modus Operandi in 2018. Their current roster has 30 artists which also include artists like Aditi Singh, Anant Joshi, Anju Dodiya, Atul Dodiya, Archana Hande, Bhuvanesh Gowda, Bijoy Jain, Desmond Lazaro, Dhruvi Acharya, Gigi Scaria, Jitish Kallat, Lavanya Mani, Madhavi Subrahmanian, Meera Devidayal, Mehlli Gobhai, Mithu Sen, N S Harsha, Nilima Sheikh, Pushpamala N, Rashid Rana, Reena Kallat, Ritesh Meshram, Sheetal Gattani, Shakuntala Kulkarni, Shilpa Gupta, Tallur L N, Tanuja Rane, Varunika Saraf, Vivan Sundaram, and Yardena Kurulkar.
