    The exposure received at Unolona Academy helped me grow not only academically, but even as a person. Harsimran Sir and Shalu Ma’am have been very instrumental in inculcating a strong design foundation in my journey. I was the happiest when I attended their classes. So grateful!

    The team was absolutely wonderful with everything and I couldn’t
    be more thankful for all they have done for me. Harsimran Sir really helped me with understanding art styles, my artwork and helped me discover the real artist in me.
