Vibhuti Bhandarkar

Life has been all about art and writing for Vibhuti Bhandarkar ever since she started her career in Pune in 2004 as a professionally qualified Commercial artist and freelance Eng. Copywriter for top brands and ad agencies in Pune. In 2005, Vibhuti wrote features for the TOI supplements and Femina until she went ahead and got married to the love of her life, in 2007. She then delved into conceptualisation and interior designing. In 2008 she successfully launched and ran an Art Gallery and Art Curatorial Services in Pune post which she went on a maternity sabbatical.
Vibhuti's restless creative genes have never allowed her to put her feet up and relax, ever! Soon she found herself resurfacing as an avid blogger. One more of her life's targets was achieved as she went on to become a published writer with her maiden collection of short stories, 'Not Totally Unbelievable' in 2011. Since then many of her short stories have been published online, and in anthologies.

She has constantly experimented with many other areas of her expertise and explored her creative genius to the maximum in various fields like Fine Art, Fashion Accessories Designing, Interior Designing and she's also had  a short but quite a successful stint in Social Media Marketing. Vibhuti attributes her entrepreneurial leanings to her ambitious and talented mother who is her idol. The memories of her continue to be a constant inspiration even after having lost her early on in life.
Presently,  besides being a doting mother to two naughty boys, Vibhuti is busy writing a novella and a book of short educational verses for children.
