profile
I don’t think I have passion for creative work, it just runs in
my blood. Though I was a bit late to understand that fact. I
did my degree in Mechanical. PASSED.
Soon joined a jewelry manufacturing company as an
ENGINEER, but didn’t take much time to understand that it
wasn’t my cup of TEA. Soon got into the creative
department. And now I own it. Thats right!!
The company owns 3 brands and I handle all 3 of them.
QUIET LITERALLY.
