From walking into NIFT Shillong as a curious Fashion Management student to navigating international markets as an International Sales & Marketing Manager at Trident Group, the journey has been nothing short of exciting.

NIFT was more than just a campus—it was a space where ideas were challenged, perspectives were widened, and countless cups of coffee fuelled brainstorming sessions, assignments, and dreams. The curriculum, live projects, and interactions with faculty and peers gave me the perfect mix of creativity and business acumen, preparing me for the dynamic world of fashion and lifestyle.

One of the biggest highlights of my NIFT journey was securing a campus placement, which became my launchpad into the corporate world. Over the last four years at Trident Group, I have had the opportunity to work across international markets, build global business relationships, and contribute to the brand’s growth journey.

If there’s one thing NIFT taught me, it is that growth begins when you step out of your comfort zone. So to every current student—say yes to opportunities, ask the extra question, take that challenge, and trust your journey.

Once a NIFTian, always a NIFTian—carrying the lessons, friendships, and memories for life.
