Artpreneur Online Program

Where two dreamweavers met and magic unfolded.❤️✨ Some stories aren’t just about a regular teaching or learning—they’re about evolving together and trusting the inner calling. This is one such story, where I stepped into my role as an educator for the very first time in my late teens and met Himanshi Srivastava—a gentle, vibrant spirit with a childlike love for art and a quiet determination to reignite her creative self. Though we came from very different worlds—me, a teenager just beginning my artistic journey and she, an architect-turned-homemaker rediscovering her long-lost artistic dreams—what united us was a shared longing to create, express and trust in each other the creative space that connected us. And it was Artpreneur Online Program, founded by SCD Balaji sir, that became the bridge for both our journeys. In just one year with the Artpreneur Online Program, Himanshi Srivastava blossomed from a curious beginner into a professional illustrator, deeply rooted in both Indian and global folk styles. She also mastered the art of visual branding, shaping brands by uplifting their voices and stories. By the end of the 12-month artpreneur journey, she had brought her wishion (vision + wishion) to life—establishing her own studio and confidently crafting her brand voice and visual language. Her growth, starting from scratch in a new industry, beautifully mirrored my own early steps and guiding her has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my creative journey so far. To me, this isn’t just about art—it’s about coming home to yourself, about trusting your intuition and giving the tools to build a dream lifestyle that you once thought wasn’t possible at the stage of life you currently are in.🌟 If you’ve ever felt the call of creativity but didn’t know where to begin or how to turn it into something real and a proper career—it’s never too late, this might be the sign you’ve been looking for and maybe… this time, it’s you.💌 With love & gratitude, Anisha, Educator Artpreneur Online Program Illustrator squigglestudios #artpreneurprogram #creativecareer #digitalart #artcommunity #careergoals #lifeofanartist #artschool #indianfolkart #branding #designschool #portfolio

The beauty and the curse of blessings are: Your fitness remains blessed as long as you work out. Your relationships remain blessed as long as you value them. Your wisdom remains blessed as long as you stay humble. Your wealth remains blessed as long as you remain disciplined. Your blessings remain blessed as long as you are grateful for them. The beauty—and the curse—of blessings is that they remain with you only as long as your daily actions align with them. The moment you abandon them, they abandon you. It's beautifully designed this way—to keep you mindful and alive to experience of these blessings. Otherwise, by taking them for granted, you'd never truly appreciate their presence. So every day, count your blessings, for the sake of keeping them alive.

Empowering Sisterhood Journey with Vishnupriya Sampath! Dreams that connect us Some dreams refuse to let you sleep because they’re meant to become reality. You’re here to witness one such dream, shared by two individuals: a budding creative entrepreneur reaching for new heights and an educator driven to empower women to step boldly toward their aspirations. Meet me I’m Niveditha, an educator in an Art, Design and Entrepreneurship Program and this story is about me and my student, Vishnupriya Sampath, who aspires to become a successful creative entrepreneur. The Journey Back Little did I know I’d return as an Educator to the very Artpreneur Online Program that shaped me three years ago. My “wishion” led me from an IT career to a world of creativity, through many highs and lows. Today, I lead the Realm of Hamsa and run my studio, Hiranyagarbha—two spaces where I bring my wishion (wish + vision) to life by nurturing aspiring creatives and their dreams. Growth through grit I first met Vishnupriya in 2022, when she enrolled in the program. Her consistency, curiosity and drive have inspired me ever since. She grew from an amateur to a professional, infusing depth into every illustration and branding works. Even after a challenging time during her portfolio phase, she returned stronger and completed it beautifully. Her openness to feedback made it a true journey of growth—and she’s come a long way. Rooted in Sisterhood To this day, I’m proud of how steadily she has taken steps to establish her own identity in the creative industry she once envisioned. I feel blessed to witness transformations like hers while living my wishion of empowering fellow women—a sisterhood I hold dear. If you’re someone who’s truly committed to building a meaningful career in art & design and are seeking the right mentorship, I invite you to explore my upcoming batch, which begins in July 2025. I am personally choosing those who are curious, dedicated and ready to invest their time in real growth. For program details, check out artpreneur.in!

Proud to share my Artpreneur Online Program Student Vivek Jayakumar, Founder, Whimsgic Studio Story here :) Unseen Vivek was such a teacher — he wouldn't give up on students, even after the program completion. He took personal care of students and made sure they were becoming self-sustainable, without any expectations or returns. I love him for this. Untold After quitting his MBA, he didn't have the money to join the program. He earned his fee within the program by doing communication work and paid for his enrollment. In the process, he spoke to 1,000 Artpreneur program inquirers, which helped him overcome his speech difficulties and become fluent in his communication. Not only did he transform himself significantly, but he also went on to transform others as an educator. He earned his life and career on his own and made sure that such a miracle was possible for others too. He is such an inspiration to me always. Unbelievable None of the people around him would have ever believed that a young and carefree guy would turn out to be a serious entrepreneur, responsible teacher and successful brand consultant. It is truly unbelievable that, despite his challenging situations over the years, he has become a beacon of hope for many people — choosing to be a successful startup founder rather than pursuing a secure 9-to-5 job. The Eternal Promise: When he left his MBA and joined the program, his parents met me with concern about his career and earnings. I promised them, "Your son will earn more in his career than a gold medal MBA graduate — if not, you can question me." And to this day, I keep my promise alive, as he is flourishing in fortune.

This is such a beautiful feeling to express… When you sculpt a being from the bottom of your heart—because it's part of your "Wishion"—and that being becomes a master in what you've trained her for, it's unexplainable when they voluntarily return to give life to that same "Wishion", creating one of the best works. Anurenuga P, my mentee from the Artpreneur Online Program, has beautifully crafted this branding with conceptual, self-explanatory illustrations for Brand Wishion. It was such a wonderful experience—thank you so much for volunteering for this project. Check Out the Logo + Illustrations here, https://lnkd.in/g7HXGEqV Thank you very much. The illustrations are conceptualized and illustrated by my mentee Anurenuga P, an alumna of Artpreneur Online Program and Wishion. She runs her own artistic branding studio, Studio Aprameyah, and helps brands communicate their vision to their target audience through visuals below the above art.

For years, I've wondered why no one had created an illustration project on the 6 Dimensions or Houses of Murugan (Lord Karthikeya). I was secretly feeling happy and relieved that no one had attempted it so I could do it myself. However, after seeing this project, I feel both relieved and a bit jealous—it turned out so beautifully, especially in the Neo Bengal Folk Art style. This is gorgeous, Divya Sekar, and you've practically created your own sub-style within Neo Bengal Folk Art. I hope it reaches those who need to see it. Am feeling super Proud to see such Divine Projects from Artpreneur Online Program Alumni / Students.

People always wonder how Atma Studios gets these kinds of creative, artistic, responsible, and spiritual projects. The answer is "We don't know, it happens" — the blessing credit goes to the divine. The story behind this project is so beautiful. A father created this book for his daughter, just for her to transfer the ancient wisdom of rituals of India in a playful, responsible, and cute manner. He approached us after seeing our previous work, and then this happened. This beautiful project is illustrated and designed by Niveditha S, who is my mentee and alumna from the Artpreneur Online Program. Such a graceful and cute project, Nivedita — so proud of you. 👏 Please Explore the Complete Project at: https://lnkd.in/gw8ES4_H
