The visionary behind the canvas

In 2004, Sunita Chandgadkar founded Tejas Hobby Institute with a singular, powerful belief: that every individual possesses a unique creative spark waiting to be ignited. What started as a passionate endeavor to teach traditional arts has, under her leadership, blossomed into a premier creative hub in Pune.

With over two decades of experience, Sunita has mentored thousands of students, transitioning them from hobbyists to confident creators. Her philosophy blends the discipline of classical fine arts with the dynamic world of modern digital media.

To her, Tejas is more than an institute—it is a community where tradition meets innovation, and where every student is encouraged to turn their passion into a purposeful career.
