Hello! I'm Chandni
I'm a NIFT, Mumbai Alumnus with a Degree in Fashion Communication.
After a few years of working in lifestyle & fashion category in the ecommerce sector with United Designer Brands & Jabong. Later, I moved to training about fashion and lifestyle with established brands like ONLY & Veromoda under Bestseller India. Further on, teaching, interacting & sharing my media experiences with the youth, especially students, have always been at the heart of it all, so I adapted myself to academia and have worked with leading institutes like Pearl Academy, NIFT & FAD Academy.
Parallely, in my free time I work as an influencer covering major fashion and lifestyle events, travel stories and collaborating with some of the top global brands across all social media platforms.
