1. How did you get to know about Artpreneur Program?
I learned about the Artpreneur Program through an Instagram ad. I was amazed by the curriculum, which I found on their website, as it was meticulously structured. I was still unsure and had just a couple of days to decide before admissions closed. But I had a good feeling about the program and decided to follow my gut feeling and join it.

2. What were you doing before joining the Program?
While pursuing my BTech degree, I came to the realisation that I wanted to pursue a creative career. During my final year of study, I applied to and wrote for competitive exams like NID and NIFT for a postgraduate degree. It was only after I cleared the initial rounds and showed up for the NID interview that I realised that I lacked something compared to the many candidates who were design graduates, which was a strong portfolio. I was disheartened and thought that I had missed my chance and should have enrolled as a graduate student in design right from the start. I skipped the NIFT counselling sessions because I feared that doing a postgraduate degree in design without any prior education at the graduate level might end up being a bad decision. So I opted for the backup option, which was an MBA degree in fashion management. I thought that management skills combined with creativity might be a better fit. I graduated from the MBA program during the pandemic. While being stuck at home, I decided to upgrade my skills and learn more about graphic design.

3. Why did you join the Artpreneur Program?
I was familiar with the basics of Adobe software thanks to my MBA education. I had also taken a few online classes and completed a brief internship in graphic design. Due to the pandemic, my internship came to an end, and I began looking for a comprehensive design course where I could study branding and illustration together. The Artpreneur Program provided me with exactly what I was looking for: a one-year course with individualised mentoring that helped in building a top-notch portfolio.

4. What were your expectations from the Artpreneur Program?
I have been good at art since I was a kid. But I could only mostly recreate paintings from images. I wanted to master various art styles so that I could create my own compositions and ideas. The Artpreneur Program had the perfect process curated to meet my expectations. The process of re-engineering any art style in a short period of time is one of the program’s biggest takeaways. I was also very interested in the branding module, which was an eye-opener. The module covered everything, right from brainstorming to developing a full-fledged brand. It’s safe to say that the program has exceeded my expectations.

5. What did you master in the Artpreneur Program apart from technical aspects?
The Artpreneur program is not just about learning art, either. It teaches you the importance of time tracking, journaling, and setting your vision. If you are completely committed and trust the process, you will easily achieve the goals you have envisioned. These abilities have aided in my professional and personal development, and I am appreciative of the comprehensive education I received through the Artpreneur Program.

I have currently worked on a few projects in collaboration with my educator, Vivek, and have begun earning money.

That's another avenue I'm striving towards.
