Glimpses from Day One
A Showcase That Goes Beyond Graduation
At Rajouri Garden, graduating students from Fashion Design, Product Design, Communication Design, Interior Design, Textile Design, UI/UX, and Game Design present bold, future-facing portfolios that merge creativity with practical application.
This year’s work reflects a clear shift in industry demand—towards communication design, digital experiences, extended reality, and AI-driven creativity.
With up to 99% placement success and offers reaching up to ₹26 LPA in Communication Design, Pearl Academy continues to be a leading destination for future-ready creative education.
Industry leaders from the Aditya Birla Group, Reliance Group, Lamborghini, and other leading fashion and lifestyle brands actively engage with students through live portfolio reviews, mentorship, and hiring conversations—making the showcase a direct bridge between campus and career.
Voices That Shape the Future
“Portfolio 2026 is where creative journeys become professional realities,” says Aditi Srivastava, President, Pearl Academy. “Our students graduate not just as designers, but as complete professionals ready to lead across studios, boardrooms, and global platforms.”
At the Pearl Academy School of Business, Amod Vijayvargiya, Director, highlights the evolving intersection of creativity and enterprise:
“Today’s creative economy demands both imagination and strategy. Portfolio Showcase is where students present ideas that are tested, discussed, and refined by industry leaders in real time.”
