      Heritage tour lead

      my skills here were two fold - handling clients as a guide and tour leader and setting custom trails. I have designed trails and brochures according to various aspects of Santiniketan- History, craft, Curated experiences.the tour I focused most on was the one bringing attention to the vast and beautiful Terracotta temples that dot the surroundings of Santiniketan. while the other tours included craft trails,visit to artist's studios.years of working in this role has given me a unique perspective. I got to interact with elements of marketing, curation,history while interacting with not only the clients but people ij the hospitality industry, artists,historians and many more. Show less
