Fiercely passionate and unequivocally dedicated, Payal hails from Guwahati, Assam. She is an MBA graduate from IIM-Calcutta. Currently, working as a Capabilities Manager for E-commerce channel at HUL, she also devotes her time to art - a hobby she picked up in her formative years, which has now become her passion. A lot of what inspires her comes from the world of visual arts – be it Platon’s powerful photographs, Christoph Niemann’s ingenious illustrations, Kahlo's and Van Gogh’s paintings, or Miyazaki’s animation works.

She explores art in various ways like doodling, digital illustrations, acrylic paintings, and teabag watercolor art. Interestingly, she has a unique yearly ritual called '#inkingmay' wherein she draws 31 doodles (for 31 days) in her birthday month (May) to symbolize growing old with art.

​

When asked about why she chooses to draw, she says, ''I draw because that's the only way I know I can express the things I see, I think and I feel"
