Ankit Agarwal's Odyssey: Exploring Passion, Creativity, and Career
In the vibrant city of Doha, Qatar, Ankit Agarwal has made a name for himself as a man of many talents. Born and raised in Kolkata, India, Ankit moved to Qatar in 2012, where he has since made significant contributions in various fields.
Ankit Agarwal, a qualified Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary, and CPA (Ireland), has had an impressive career in the financial sector. He has worked as Deputy Finance Manager for a leading construction company in Qatar and, more recently, made a transition to the oil & gas industry as a Senior Financial Analyst in 2022.
However, Ankit's passion extends beyond numbers and finance. He has a deep-rooted love for art, a passion that was momentarily halted during his childhood due to study pressures. It wasn't until 2020 that he rekindled this love under the guidance of Art Guru Biswajeet Ray. Since then, Ankit has been more into abstract art, a medium that allows him to think outside the box and unleash his creativity.
Ankit's artworks are not just visually appealing; they carry a deeper meaning. His abstract pieces, exhibited at the Fire Station Artist in Residence program in Qatar in 2022 and later, resonate with viewers, inviting them to interpret the art in their own unique ways.
Apart from his artistic pursuits, Ankit is also deeply involved in community work. He is the Founder of Essence of Qatar, a website that showcases the beauty and culture of Qatar, and the Youngest Chairperson for the Doha Chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India for the year 2022-23.
Ankit's commitment to empowering others is evident in his initiatives such as Sheroes of Qatar, a blog about women's empowerment and their success stories, and the People of Qatar Series, a series about people living in Qatar. He is also the founder of Indian Meetup Friends (IMF) in Qatar, a platform that fosters a sense of community among Indians living in Qatar.
Reflecting on his diverse interests, Ankit quotes, "The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist." He hopes to continue his artistic journey and one day become a great and renowned artist.
