Rahul Mishra grew up in a sleepy village 53 miles off Kanpur in Malhausi. He spent his childhood with his grandparents, listening to an array of stories- religious, historical, moral, of balance and humanity. Rahul's educational foundations were laid at a nearby government school, which lead him to a graduate degree in Physics from Kanpur University. A chance encounter with a design school saw him trail to the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad for a postgraduate degree, a turning point in Rahul's career. He found his true calling in an atmosphere that questioned his commitment to the world around him, realising the potential of Design as an instrument to relieve people of their quandaries.
