The Word.: When do you feel most creative?
Pranay Jaitly: “In the evening, post work, when I block out everything else and just focus on my thoughts.”
Shounak Amonkar: “It might sound like an oxymoron, but I feel the most creative either when I am on a holiday—when my mind is at ease—or when I am under tremendous pressure.”
Ayesha Singh: “When I am immersed in the process of creating…either with wood, metal, or mechanics, trying to establish ways in which I can turn a drawing into physical form. Also, when I am working with the 3D development software, where my works can disregard gravity and traditional construction limitations to create new ways of perceiving this familiar world.”
Akshat Bansal: “Creativity strikes me when I am at my quietest. I usually spend solitary time in the hills before I begin working on a new collection—I enjoy sketching all of my thoughts to understand the direction I want to take.”
Vrinda Sachdeva: “I am a nocturnal person, so the best ideas come to me at night, when the house is quiet and my mind is calm. And I usually text my team immediately—of course, I don’t expect them to respond late in the night—to ensure I don’t forget to discuss the ideas with them.”
Gautam Sinha: “I have to say when I am travelling…it fuels my mind.”
