Bhupesh Vasant DolasBranding & Marketing Communications, Creative Head

I don’t think I have passion for creative work, it just runs in my blood. Though I was a bit late to understand that fact. I did my degree in Mechanical. PASSED. Soon joined a jewelry manufacturing company as an ENGINEER, but didn’t take much time to understand that it wasn’t my cup of TEA. Soon got into the creative department. And now I own it. Thats right!! The company owns 3 brands and I handle all 3 of them.QUIET LITERALLY.
