“Accurate knowledge of craft is a must. Right guidance and a methodical approach to design helps you hone your creativity “ which has to be worked at continuously . The correct knowhow and technology is a given “but when it comes to developing your own unique personal style , an identity …which you can call your own , that can only be done by first finding your own true self, cultivating it, nurturing it ,so it becomes your own USP as a designer.”
Sachin does not believe in a relationship of faculty and student . It is more of a “ mentor who nurtures his students in such a manner that they find themselves out of themselves “ He says, “It is our moral responsibility to turn them(the students )out into budding designers who are ready to compete in the industry once they are certified and become confident individuals.”
