"With creative people, truly new horizons open up"

Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.

Tell us something about yourself.
My name is Shraddha Anand and I hail from Jaipur. After completing my education I moved to Mumbai to pursue my passion and art. Always holding an interest in creative fields, I finally made my name in the Makeup industry. I work as a freelance professional makeup artist. As I always saw myself as an entrepreneur and always hold that vision in myself.

Where do you see yourself after the next 20 years?
I am a goal-oriented person and my vision is to build my name in the Makeup Industry. In the upcoming years of my life I want to establish myself as a big brand - SHRADDHA ANAND I wish to achieve a title. Also, in the upcoming year, I want to work as an international artist and would like to take up my skills and talent around the globe.

What were some of the battles you fought and are still fighting in your journey?
It’s been a little difficult for me to convince my family that my interest lies in creative fields. I faced a lot of rejection and sometimes no support besides my mom around me because it was really difficult to make people understand the difference between being a professional makeup artist to the salon industry.

Talk to us about your achievements.
One of my most recent and biggest achievements is that my work got featured in Vogue Arabia 2022. I have worked for well-known designers like Manish Malhotra, Swati Ubroi, Rimzim Dadu, Rohit K Verma etc and also with a few celebrities like Indian Cricketer Ruturaj Gaikwad, Priyal Ghor, Avika Gor, etc. I got featured in the Magazine “Most Successful female entrepreneurs Of India “ among the top 50 Female entrepreneurs," as a Jaipur makeup artist.
