Ask Barkha Agarwal about fond memories from her childhood, and she'll tell you they mostly à revolve around photography.

"My dad used to love clicking pictures, and I developed a fascination with photography very early in life. My mum gifted me a digital camera when I was 15, and I would spend hours clicking pictures of random things," she explains. She had no intention of making a career out of it however. Instead, she pursued engineering and holds a BTech degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

She then earned an MBA degree from Mysore in 2015, and it was here that she rediscovered her love for photography.
