Some dreams stay with us for years, and for me, studying at NIFT was one of them. Ever since Class 4, I had imagined myself being a NIFT student, and joining NIFT Shillong for my Master's felt like watching a long-awaited dream finally unfold.

I am currently working as a Textile Designer at Karomi Crafts and Textiles, where I design handloom Jamdani textiles and Kantha embroidery products while working closely with artisan communities across Bengal. My role involves developing contemporary designs rooted in traditional craftsmanship and supporting the preservation of handloom and handmade textile practices.

They say education prepares you for a career, but the finest education prepares you for life. For me, NIFT Shillong was far more than a college—it was a transformative journey that shaped my perspective, strengthened my character, and gave me the confidence to trust myself. Nestled in the scenic hills of Meghalaya and surrounded by the cultural richness of the North-East, NIFT Shillong provided an education that extended beyond classrooms.
