I’m Komal Agarwal. I come from a small nuclear family of five, where everyone expected me to follow a traditional path and become an engineer. But from a young age, I knew I didn’t want to do that. I just loved art—I just wanted to paint all day. So, when I decided to pursue a career in fashion design, it was a huge shock to everyone around me.

Fast forward many years, and here I am today. I’ve had the privilege of working on over 500 digital design projects for brands like Heuritech London, Times of India, and Ajio. I now split my time between the USA and Bangalore, teaching digital fashion and graphics. I’m also running my own business, working as a full-time entrepreneur, taking on freelance projects for companies and clients. On top of that, I’m honored to be a faculty member at INIFD Bangalore, where I get to share my passion for fashion with the next generation.

Looking back, I’m grateful for every challenge and opportunity that led me here, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next.
