VANSHAJ KAPUR

Creative Director and Founder of The Bold Creative, Vanshaj Kapur's professional journey is one for the books.

From working in Bollywood, to Live Stream Production, to getting a C-level position right after college, to opening his own creative agency! He's well known for his ambition and passion for business. He's a master of many traits with Brand Strategy, Film Direction and Design, Communication Strategy & Live Broadcasting to name a few.

Today, Vanshaj consults and works directly with founders to think through creative strategies and execution.

PRAGNYA VENKATESH

Art Direction and Branding Design are what comes naturally to Pragnya. A master of graphic design and copywriting, she’s given birth to multiple personalities and identities for brands.

Her firm belief is that the core of any brand lies in how human it can be, and by that be able to actually relate to their customers.

She consults brands on designing for the digital age, and is an acute researcher which is what puts her above the edge when it comes to breaking the mould with each new client.

Brands We've worked with as creative directors

We're building the club we wish we had

Learn how to build a sustainable business and work with high-value clients using the strategies that worked for us. Courses are On-Demand and include topics like ‘Developing your Niche’, ‘How to Price your Services’, ‘Building a Website that Sells’, and ‘Fostering Great Client Relationships’.

Standardise your business collaterals with our downloadable resources including draft contracts, NDA agreements, proposal templates, pricing matrix, draft employment agreements, etc.

Join us LIVE for 1 hr every week to discuss doubts and queries. Have questions about the course? Stuck with a challenge in your business? We’re here to guide you and hold your hand.

Learn from Founders that are killing it in the market. Each month we’ll target a topic chosen by the community and bring in founders that can share their insights.

Sharon Lobo

Founder at Quirky Media - The LinkedIn Marketing Agency

I learnt the art of closing clients without selling my soul

We all “think” we can run agencies but TBS teaches you to run an efficient agency & you’ll be surprised at how different they are. 

Because of TBS I now close high-ticket size clients efficiently. But I do not recommend this course for the faint-hearted because you’ll have to go through the fire of TBS to create an agency that shines.

I was just starting off and the Bold Start gave me the right toolkit

Pragnya and Vanshaj are great. They are so dedicated to what they do and they really shared all their experiences with us. It was such a great community to be part of and it was unlike any other.

I joined The Bold Start when I was just starting off, not knowing anything about how to run a creative business, but The Bold Start really gave me the right toolkit to do so.

One of the top decisions which was a turning point in my business

If you are a creative agency or a photography agency like us then I would definitely recommend you guys to just join The Bold Start. Especially if you're stuck in your business and you want a mentor who can just hold your hand. They can tell you which direction to go or whether you are going in the right direction.

So thank you Vanshaj and Pragnya for all the learnings and for putting this together for us.
