Building from the stones thrown at you | Ar. Utsav Kamboj | TEDxNicmar

The idea of giving back to the design community came into her mind as soon as she entered the industry as an independent designer. But just like any transformation story, bringing such a great idea to life is not so seamless. In this talk, Ar. Utsav Kamboj talks about a story that will stay with you for life. The story talks about how she built a platform to empower Architects and Interior Designers of India from a young age, making her way through hurdles, starting really small, trauma, sleepless nights, one-on-one’s with the community, creating a course that made people excited to enroll into having trained over 100K designers in the country. This story talks about karma yoga, consistent action, faith and resilience. I am an architect and urban designer invested in the field of education & content creation. Through my posts, I simplify design ideas and share my expertise in working with the latest and most innovative materials and building technology in the industry. ?My transition from being an architect to an entrepreneur was the result of a reality check that happened to me right after I graduated. The AEC industry which seemed like a dreamy world from the outside, wasn’t really that fancy from within. While working in the field, I realised that there was a huge skill gap between what was taught in college v/s what happened in the industry. ✨ I learned everything on the go while making my fair share of mistakes to master professional skills. But after successfully completing 25+ projects, I realised that I spent a significant amount of time in experimentation and learning. This made me wonder if I could help freelancers, fresh graduates, and young design firms save the time and effort spent in self-learning. So, I decided to venture into the realm of content creation to coach young designers about the practical aspects of the profession. ✅ It was this decision that led to the birth of Archea - a platform where I collate all my experiences and learnings into actionable courses about architecture, interior design, etc. Through Archea, I help architects and designers unlock work opportunities, get unstuck, and achieve the work-life balance they want. ? Leading entrepreneur and AEC publications such as The Entrepreneurethics, Architecture+ Design, Entrepreneurs Today, The Open House, Home Publication, and India Best Homes have featured me. I have delivered 20+ podcasts alongside AEC who’s who namely Hiren Patel, Sanjay Puri, and Sebastian Zachariah I have also been invited as a panellist for 5+ conferences on platforms such as FOAID and Wade Asia. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
