The King & Queen Duo
Bishan's expertise lies in creative vision. What he teaches in the classroom is evident in his execution in all the projects he does. Surekha brings a much needed feminine touch to the brand. Her background as an actress, and service delivery in the hospitality industry brings a warm relationship with her and our female clients.
