As founder and Creative Visionary Officer of Rad Art Media, Radhika Maheshwari bridges the gap between artists and audiences. Her clientele includes graphic designers, painters and artists. "We cater specifically to visual creators because they are excellent with their work, but they don't know where they can sell or showcase it. So, we guide them professionally and help them build a solid career path," she says. Her services include one-on-one consultancy, artist starter kits, artist management as well as website development. They also offer various courses, such as online marketing or copyright law to educate artists. These range anywhere from two-hour lectures to full-fledged crash courses that last three months.
