India's Inspirational Leader 2022 for Art & Culture, Pavani Nagpal

An accomplishment that you consider to be the most significant in your career?

I recently got to showcase my work at the India Art Festival and the response was beyond my imagination! Earlier I had mixed emotions, I had self doubt as it was my debut, but you know, the universe is there to support when your intent is pure. I received so much love! My collection got sold out pretty soon and most of my paintings now have a new home.

How do you integrate corporate philanthropy or corporate social responsibility as a part of your business strategies?

I do not really mix art with business. I come from a business family and we have always been very proactive in empowering women, voicing out social stigmas and when I myself became a victim of such issues post my marriage, I completely got my heart and soul in women empowerment.

What has been your driving force or philosophy in life?

Keep doing good, have pure intentions and the universe will help you, always! The more you shift your mindset from doubts to belief, the faster it will manifest.

What are the other philanthropic works you are involved in?

The section of society that I come from has a stigma attached to it that we only have a “good life”, nobody really cares to know or believe the hardships we face. People forget that we are humans too. And that is where I fit in, I want to be the voice for that society, I want to tell women through my art that they are enough! They do not need social validations.
