The best part of being a fashion designer is that you are always evolving. You get to empower so many lives. There is a satisfaction of fulfilling collective dreams and goals. To also be a part of the process and get to know people from all the verticals is something I look forward to.

The visual stories I design allows the viewer to have their own perspective and interpretation. These things are a part of their daily lives and I get to be a part of their conscience. The best part is to make people believe in my fantasies and making their dreams come to life!

During the year in lockdown, when people had more time to spend indoors and less options of entertainment, most having internet access, turned to social media to entertain themselves. Many started posting their workout regime to encourage others to stay home, stay fit. Others posted their kitchen endeavours on social media. However, when scrolling through these updates became monotonous after a while, the illustrations by the artists and digital designers brought a fresh breeze on social media with a constant underlying message – to encourage their followers to stay positive amid tough times.

For the latest issue of Insights Success a business magazine online‘Impactful Individuals in the Indian Industry’, we had a chance to interview Simran Tapadia, Designer at Lakme’ India who has been on a mission to spread positivity among her followers through her artwork.

Brief our audience about your journey as a graphic designer and author/entrepreneur.

My journey as a graphic designer started when I was working as illustrator for The Juice Magazine, Jabong. I was ecstatic when I first saw my name published in the magazine. This was when I discovered my passion for print media and decided to pursue my career as an illustrator.

Kindly shed some light on the challenges that you have witnessed and how you have overcome them.

The biggest challenge for me was deciding which way to go ahead in life. I have always wanted to get into publishing, which led me to my book ‘How to Survive College’. Once that came into fruition, the challenge was to get the right publisher for it. So, I planned to finish the book and then pitched it to various publishing houses for seven months straight, along with attending college full-time, working as a freelancer, also working on my graduation film.

How do you see the impact of COVID-19 on the industry and what are the best ways to adapt to challenging times?

When we were affected by COVID-19, there was a lot of uncertainty in the industry. But as we all know, ‘change is the only constant’. So, everyone started adapting the new normal and work became easily accessible. As people were spending more time home and most of the audience had access to the internet, the viewership for my work grew. I also started adapting and changed the topics of my online comic novel, Memesaab.

Pradeep Kumar Jain: Dabbling in the Legal Space Since 2002

Pradeep Kumar Jain | Managing Partner | Singhania & Co. LLP

A lawyer (also known as an advocate, counsel, or counsellor) is a licenced practitioner who gives legal advice and representation to others. A lawyer in today’s world may be young or old, male, or female. Almost one-third of all lawyers are under the age of 35. Women make up nearly half of law students today, and they may one day outnumber men in the profession.

New tools can be of good assistance to shorten the length of litigation apart from saving time in other activities like travelling etc. The responsibilities a lawyer can be painstaking. In an interview with Insights Success a business solutions magazine, Pradeep Kumar Jain, Managing Partner of Singhania & Co. LLP shares with us his views of being a lawyer and what goes in being a good lawyer. Mentioned below are the highlights of the interview:

Brief our audience about your journey as a lawyer.

Indeed, it was an interesting journey because I never wanted to be a lawyer though my mother used to say that I would be one, due to my argumentative skill. In fact, I enrolled in law after my enrolment in Company Secretaryship and completed my law and CS together. In 2002, I came to Mumbai and fortunately met a partner of Singhania & Co, LLP who advised me to practice as a lawyer instead of a company secretary. In one sentence I can say, “legal profession was not my choice but of the almighty and that’s why I got good name and fame because it was his choice not mine.”

How to create an impact in this fast-paced business world?

Though the legal profession is considered a noble profession, it has all ingredients of the service industry. Therefore, delivering good or excellent services to your client and honestly protecting his/her interests are some of the few tools in your hand to leave a positive impact on your client. I can understand that in litigation, more than internal, external factors affects the performance of lawyers but still, he/ she can give comfort to his/ her client by providing information/ outcome on time instead of allowing his/ her client to chase him.

Chinmay Udgirkar – The activist, the thinker and the Actor

During the entire month of Shravan, you see him walking barefoot. You spot him planting saplings during green drives. You see him walking along the banks of River Godavari in Nashik with environment activists who are fighting against river pollution and for river rejuvenation. You see him on the small and big screen displaying his talent.

The bellow are the highlights of the interview with Insights Success a top business magazines.

Actor Chinmay Udgirkar has many facets to his personality.

While learning to act in plays at Genius, he became used to taking theatre/plays seriously. It became an inseparable part of his life and he realised that acting was his hobby and that what he used to do to get appreciation from people became a passion.

His family though supportive, put forth a condition that he should complete his degree in law first. He obeyed them and completed the five-year law course while simultaneously acting in theatre.

Since Chinmay’s family has no background in the entertainment industry, his family had made it clear to him – Whatever you are doing, accept it with all loopholes. What you have in your career today, you may not have tomorrow. So, you should be able to withstand it. You have to maintain mental fitness for battling your emotional struggles.

“I feel that without any reason we have unknowingly created a competition. I want to give only one message to the youth – are you truly happy/content with the speed with which you are running about? Are you peaceful? You need to introspect seriously before it is too late, instead of getting carried away. Life was very peaceful during our parent’s time.
