Swarnavo Datta is a corporate trainer by day and an illustrator by night. When not training grown-ups on serious topics like Business Acumen and Design Thinking, he likes to let loose his inner child by drawing not-so-serious things.

He grew up amidst mango trees and bougainvillea bushes in Bengal and now is stuck somewhere in traffic in Bengaluru. Hopefully he is carrying a pencil and a pocket sketchbook to keep him busy while the light turns from red to green.

He is fond of cooking, taking care of his potted lemon tree and collecting more picture books than he can store.

Swar is also the host of an art podcast called Paper Pencil Podcast, where he invites artists from around the world to understand their journey and process.
