About

Hello! I'm Ankit, an Engineer with a passion for art. Life's simple pleasures journeys, books, old melodies, and desi chai captivate me. My love for art started in school and grew during my engineering years, collaborating with talented artists. I’ve organized workshops and exhibitions, with watercolors being my favorite medium. Whether traveling or working as a full-time management consultant, I always carry my sketchbook and paints. If you ever find a beautiful old song or a great tea spot, feel free to reach out!

I completed my B.E. from BIT Mesra, Ranchi — a place that shaped both my academic & creative mindset. Along with engineering studies, I actively participated in cultural and artistic initiatives, collaborating with talented artists and student communities. My years at BIT taught me discipline, teamwork, and the ability to balance analytical thinking with artistic expression — a blend that continues to define my work today.

Alongside engineering and art, I’ve always been drawn to communication and Hindi poetry.

I sometimes conduct Hindi lessons/ teach Hindi to people to help build creative conenctions with the people.

"Ankit is no ordinary student of BIT, Mesra. He is a painter of professional caliber. I was gifted a watercolor of BIT Mesra, painted by him. He himself handed it to me following my talk. But with my typical forgetfulness, I left it on some chair at Ranchi airport. And I blame me so much."

"My good wishes to Ankit, an upright young artist, who is passionate not only for his own paintings but also for imparting his knowledge to others. I remember his dedication for organizing a painting workshop for kids at a village school under Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana at Mahilong in Jharkhand & 2 days Art workshop for professionals."

"When you know you have to gift someone your admiration for them, you can’t think about anything less than gifting them art in any form. While hunting for the perfect gift, I stumbled upon Ankit’s work. I saw his works and instantly knew that his paintings and sketches were more than mere strokes of charcoal and colors. I was overwhelmed when I received the portrait. He puts life into the paper and I felt so happy when I gifted the sketch to the person."

Author image Aishwarya Art Student

"Learning painting with Ankit Sir has truly been a beautiful journey. His classes are fun, engaging, and filled with techniques that I had never explored before. I especially loved learning about layering and how small details can completely elevate a painting. His thoughtful inputs have consistently helped me improve my style, and even within just two levels, I can already see a significant transformation in my work. Thank you, Ankit Sir, for guiding me with so much patience and passion—it has made all the difference. 🎨✨"
