Despite being a Science graduate, Puspendra followed his passion for art and design and became a very successful digital marketing trainer, who gives training in big universities and organizations and has earned a good name for himself.

Dr. Pushpendra Khandelwal is a Digital Marketing Trainer and Professor. He has been teaching digital marketing for the last fifteen years. He also runs a digital marketing consultancy firm called ‘Graffiti World’ registered in Jaipur. He has served various renowned organizations like TCS, UpGrad, NIIT, etc. at various levels.

Pushpendra belongs to Jaipur but is currently living in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. He holds B.Sc., Computer diploma, MBA, and Ph.D. degrees.

When asked about his role models, Pushpendra says he considers his father as his role model for everything that he has done for him. Besides, he also draws inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi because of his life story and understanding the fact that you have to sacrifice many things to achieve success.

Describing his struggles, Pushpendra says that since childhood, he had an immense interest in the art and design field but his parents were against it. So choosing Science over Art was quite challenging for him. But he did not give up his design passion and did a course in graphic design alongside a job after completing his B.Sc. Further, he worked for free for a couple of months to get recognized in this industry. Also, he did many digital marketing courses to move ahead in his career and establish his foothold in this field.

Sharing his COVID experience, Pushpendra says that it was the most challenging time for the teaching fraternity as they had to shift suddenly to online platforms. To utilize his free time at home, he started giving training classes from home and also did several online certification courses to update himself. He liked spending time with his family and children as well.

In his spare time, Pushpendra likes to walk, exercise, and keep himself physically fit. Apart from this, he writes articles for many websites and is also fond of reading newspapers.

Advising the youth, Pushpendra says that today’s era is very dynamic, so it is important for you to keep changing and updating yourself with time. He advises them to develop good skills to make themselves easily employable. He also tells them to make their careers in their field of interest instead of following the advice of others.
