Gaurav Yeotkar — Co-Founder
To my career story there are two major pillars arts/crafts and movies, between being the artsy kid in school to being a film buff subconsciously my heart and mind developed innate tendency to think in between the creative stories. 2001: My introduction to computer. 2006: I knew Photoshop and Corel Draw good enough to make my school project stand out. 2006 - 09: Diploma in Information Technology. Binge watching all the content that I could get my hands on. 2009-12: Enrolled for Engineering, Managed the Annual Gatherings, Tech Shows, Field Trips, Leading campaign against raised fee structure and of course getting a Bachelor of Engineering degree. 2012: started as fresh engineering graduate I joined my hometown software firm thinkcode technologies, Amravati, where I started coding the front end interface for website but my inclination was more towards improving the user friendly appeal of the UI thus googled interaction design. 2014: Browsing more on the same I got introduced to education i.e related to all three arts/crafts, stories, and interfaces. enrolling myself for National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad (AKA NID) was a great achievement in my life where I learnt almost all that I talk about today. 2016: My post graduation degree project was executed as a internship along with TATA Elxsi, Bengaluru where my fledgling understanding of design were fired in the kiln of execution and management. 2017: Into the field I joined Infosys.digital, Bengaluru as user interface lead where I designed interfaces for clients like Toyota, Li & Fung, etc, started my days at 5 am in morning made a lot of new friends met new mentors but my inner peace was still falling apart my heart was in disagreement, 5 months is indeed a unbelievably tiny amount of experience but it was personal discovery that took 27 years 2018: Backed with the liberty to move back to my home town(Amravati, Maharashtra) and retrospect. I endeavoured the search of my context to world and started a brand building studio to enable businesses with subconscious sensory impact of branding. 2019: Out of the blue an opportunity to share my knowledge with students stumbled upon me and I picked it up with proud as a blessing to stay connected to my roots in design. 2020-2021: Pandemic and work from home enabled my reach to overseas client. Brand Discovery workshops started getting more traction, understanding project management. 2022: Belief in story telling raising to unconventional standards.
