Creative Entrepreneurship by the Underprivileged in India: Innovative ways of making a living https://journals.worldnomads.com/asmita/ Sat, 18 Apr 2026 22:58:56 GMT World Nomads Adventures 8 yrs ago I gave up a successful corporate career to raise my kids. I was happily married & mothering two adorable kids, but I yearned for more. My upbringing has instilled in me an unflinching sense of who I am & what I want for myself. So when I decided to focus on my career, I chose my passion of photography & painting over corporate life. To me, photography is more than taking photos. It enables me to be a part of lives of strangers even if only for a few moments. It’s humbling to capture precious moments of people finding happiness from so little. It’s awe-inspiring to see ordinary people re-inventing themselves to earn a living. It’s heart wrecking to see people in pain & misery. I aspire to be a photographer who sees unusual in the usual. It’s my vision to present what we bring onto ourselves & to others-the good, the bad & the ugly. This scholarship will give me once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from the very best, not only the science, but also the art of photography. In this fantastic journey, I promise to be not only an inquisitive & committed student, but also a partner who would bring forth new perspectives by sharing experiences as a woman, mother & an Indian. https://journals.worldnomads.com/asmita/photos/38629/India/My-Scholarship-entry-Creative-Entrepreneurship-by-the-underprivileged-in-India Travel India asmita https://journals.worldnomads.com/asmita/photos/38629/India/My-Scholarship-entry-Creative-Entrepreneurship-by-the-underprivileged-in-India#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/asmita/photos/38629/India/My-Scholarship-entry-Creative-Entrepreneurship-by-the-underprivileged-in-India Sun, 13 Jan 2013 18:27:00 GMT 0
