Future-Facing Creatives: Puneeta Ranjan

This in-depth interview profiles Puneeta's more-than-fifteen-year practice and her unconventional route into art from a background in finance, framing that shift as one that let her merge intuition with discipline.

It highlights her public art record in Pune, including a 500-metre street art project at Nyati County in 2022 and The Wonderwall, one of the city's largest mural works, completed opposite Vibgyor School, NIBM, in January 2023.

In the conversation, she talks about seeds as recurring motifs for memory and renewal, why she works slowly and in layers, and how nature — and the current climate moment — shapes what she chooses to paint.

The piece also touches on her teaching practice: workshops with children and corporate groups, judging school-level art competitions, and a wall-art project she led at a Pune orphanage in collaboration with the children themselves.
