Pune, February 2020: Times & Trends Academy, Indian’s leading vocational education institute aims at providing the best qualitative learning with the right platform for the students to explore their choice of career. With a tough competition in every field and saturation of opportunities, choosing an unconventional career path is rather safe, but even today there are a lot of apprehensions about it. In order to showcase the world what being offbeat means and instilling confidence among the students, Interior Design Exhibition- Life in Pune 2020 and Beyond and Fashion Show- Artha 2020 was organised.
The day kickstarted with the hustle and bustle of TTA students in setting up their stalls with furniture and artefacts. All the students worked on a concept, sourced raw materials, worked around budgeting, created the finished project and finally marketed them well for the visitors. It was a comprehensive learning experience. Mr Prashant Deshmukh, Principal Architect of Prashant Deshmukh & Associates was the Chief Guest of the Exhibition and he interacted with each and everyone around the 5 themes displayed by the students like Pune Smart City, Futuristic, Pune Metro, Sustainability and Restoration. He took an individual interest in each and every designer’s idea and implementation. His guru mantra for all the students was to think simple and derive simpler solutions to every issue.
