Cartoonist, Caricaturist Madam Neelima Nivedita from Bhubaneswar, India.

After doing two masters degrees yet I didn’t find them exciting enough as a profession. Though I
don’t have any formal training and qualifications in art field, I find making caricatures fun. With
doing around 350 published caricatures on social media in last one year under my belt, so far my
cartoon journey has been short yet very exciting/ fulfilling.

Presently working as a Freelancer in writing features. At the same time do DTP, Translating,
Editing as well as Proofreading too. Drawing Caricatures and Illustrations are another
passion which is recognized me as a cartoonist. Around 350 published caricatures in last 1
year under my belt, so far, my cartooning journey have been short yet very exciting/
fulfilling.
