He began developing his skills at the Blossom Kochhar Academy in 2012 and then, mastered the craft at prestigious institutes like Toni&Guy Academy in Mumbai and the Vidal Sassoon Academy in London.
First steps
I was always passionate about hairstyles; so much so that thanks to the early experiments with my own hair, I became quite popular at school. After completing class XII, I worked at a BPO for three years and it was here that I heard about the hairdressing academy by Blossom Kochhar, which used to be Pivot Point at that time. It was the first turning point in my life.
Family support
When I decided to pursue a career in hairdressing, initially, there was little support from my family. So, I continued to work while I studied. It would get so hectic that I remember in those days I barely slept for three hours! However, years later my dedication paid off as my family recognised my passion and decided to lend me their support.
