Creativist AS

I was born in a Hospital. Yeah, like most of you, but in Delhi Army Hospital, India. Had education in various parts of the country as my father was in Indian Army. The colourful life provided under the Army background, drew me to colours & their various combinations. It was organized & a disciplined life. Visit to various places gave me a good exposure to my visual traits.

My father wanted me to be an Army Officer but I found 7.62mm Rifle too heavy to carry, so I chose HB pencil & a set of crayons. Love for my country made me secular, political scenario of the country taught me to drawing cartoons & caricatures, as they are the natural source of humour. Love for music & rich traditions of Indians, graduated me to be a composer & a visualizer. It was with 'Kashmir Times' that I found a platform to nurture my skills as a cartoonist. As a Visual Merchandiser & Creative Consultant, I'm trying innovations and allied skills to perform better in my profession every day.

Proficient at providing value added customer service by resolving customer issues & ensuring their satisfaction with product and service norms, I’m a strong organizer and planner too. Moreover i m a proven team player, motivator and a decisive leader with successful track record in directing from original concept through implementation to handle diverse market dynamics. I'm also skilled at managing teams to work in sync with the parameters set by corporate & motivating them for achieving individual and business goals I'm seeking challenging roles in the area of Retail Management in Advisory or Managerial level in the area of Visual Merchandising, Store Management and Customer Experience and strongly believe, “Always forge ahead and take others along with you!”
