VII Section 7: Statement of purpose (Write a note of not more than 400 words on statement of
purpose)

Doing an honors degree at the Delhi University in Economics and pursuing a management
degree in Fashion currently has helped me blend the two streams and let me learn the dynamics
of the fashion industry. The major reason for my choice of application is the exposure and new
prospects that I will get during my course. Further it will expand my knowledge and have a
better understanding of an academic setting.

Post my undergraduate studies at Delhi University I pursued a vocational interest of being a

content writer for a financial website company by the name rupeetimes.com, which helped me
get a glimpse of the professional atmosphere of corporate writing about world economics and
finance. This interest in math and a flair for fashion and design led me to chose my next career
option of studying Fashion Management at NIFT, my current pursuit. Blending of consumer
psychology and behavior understanding the nuances of the retail setup and improving my
aesthetic skills were my main desires.

The desire to study the fashion industry did not just stop with studying inside the class rooms, I
have handled projects on various forms of arts and crafts of Bihar, and did a study on the
understanding of the working of co-operative societies.

Given these interests, my aptitude and ability, background and academic potential for graduate
study, I feel that pursuing the remainder of my course at your prestigious institute is a step in
the right direction. It would simultaneously strengthen my managerial and technical skills in
achieving my career and life goals. I believe that relationships need to be symbiotic. It is my
hope to forge such a relationship with your school. I believe that a degree at your institution
would highly benefit my professional career while my technical and managerial skills would
complement the growing research at your school.
