Kaagazi ♠ Leather Multipurpose Case ~ 35

The year 2011, I simply refused to be yetanother graphic designer in an increasingly overpopulated setting. My thenguide Professor Tarundeep Girdher had asked me, "So what's next?"

The idea of Kaagazi came in bits and piecesduring my student days at National Institute of Design and started shaping upduring the classroom projects. By the time I graduated in 2013, KaagaziCollaborative was already registered as a company.

The last 5 years have been full of hardwork, tears, sweat, joy, excitement, accomplishment and an overall personaldevelopment for me. As I shape my brand, my brand in turn is shaping me. Havingno ambition to be the next billionaires, I aim to lead a creatively satisfying career...onethat is dotted with spells of inspiration and also, has room for failure.

A thorough desh-premi at heart, I believethat my land is full of challenges as well as opportunities. Young India withits educated youth, is looking at a future far more tolerant, innovative,empathetic and humane. The basic idea is to keep the craft relevant & userfriendly through contemporary designs. It’s a good mix of traditional crafttechniques & modern ideas. The product range includes stationery &related lifestyle products. For the dairies & notebooks these three bindingtechniques are used – section stitching, long stitch & Coptic binding.

With Kaagazi, I simply wish to do my partby helping people record their ideas, create original content and be agents of changein their own career paths.
