Mrs Priyanka Gosavi An Entrepreneur, Teacher, Interior Designer and many more
Mrs Priyanka Gosavi is one of the youngest achiever in
Mumbai. She runs her own Institute "
ENVISAGE INSTITUTE OF DESIGN" at
Borivali which offers courses in
Interior and Fashion Design but reaching here was not an easy job. She had her own struggles. Lets have a look on her inspiring story. She was born and brought up in
Nasik. She wanted to pursue Architecture in her college from her childhood she was always interested in creative activities and arts. She always wanted to do something in artistic field but improper knowledge about choosing career path she dropped Maths in 11th std which was main subject for Architecture due to which she was left in doubt about choosing career.
Her parents wanted her to make career and become a doctor but her dreams were different. By Gods grace she got to know about Interior Designing from her aunt which made her think and do research on Interior Design and finally after knowing how creative and Artistic Interior Field is she decided to do Interior Design and become an
Interior Designer.
Her main aim was to earn as soon as possible and make her parents free from all responsibilities which is rare these days. At the age where we think how our career should expand, she thought how to make her parents free from free from duties, Isn't it Inspiring? For that she started working at an early age in a call center where she came to know that earning money is not easy.
She pursued her career from a private Design Institute for which she asked her parents whether she can go to
Pune for exposure & studies. Her parents at first opposed her but she convinced them some how. Her parents agreed only on that condition that was they will pay her fees for first 6 months; later she has to work, earn, & pay her fees. this was done to make her realize how you have to face hardship in life, which made her strong for further journey of her life.
Her mentor
Mr. Datta who was her software teacher saw her teaching skills when she need to help her classmates. She pursued a carer in designing but was not satisfied so Mr. Datta offered her teaching job for which she prepared in just an hour and got a teaching job in
DIDT Institute at Nasik. Meanwhile where her professional life was climbing hills of success; her personal life took a beautiful change, she got married to Mr. Dipak Gosavi. He is her main support system. Because we have observed after marriage women's life and career's growth stops but this was not case with her. Her Husband and In-laws motivated her and support through out.After getting her first award from
Times Of India as a best faculty in Interior Designing in DIDT Nasik. She was offered many jobs one such a job she took and shifted to Mumbai. She saw all her dreams come true when she reached here. She worked asd faculty and Managing Head at one of Mumbai's Design Institute but somewhat there was one thing churning in her head that was struggles and challenges she faced as Interior Designer her students were facing same. So she took a huge step & risk of leaving her job and starting her own Institute - which is
ENVISAGE INSTITUTE OF DESIGN. This was beginning of her struggle and empowerment, starting path was very rough as expenditures were huge as compared to income still she gracefully handled all bad situations. Many people laughed, made fun of her, criticized her but all she did was waiting for time to change. All of this was done as she was having her mother's support and her blessings. Time changed and slowly but steadily
ENVISAGE started filled with students . EID is formed to provide quality education with affordable and flexible fee structure to the students who want to study but do not have a strong financial background.
Mrs Priyanka Gosavi want ENVISAGE to be a practical knowledge based and not a money oriented education Institute.

She gives her success credit to her Mother, Father & Husband. Her Mom Mrs. Sushma Goswami was the one who was Rock Solid Support, who was through all her tough times all day and night. We have seen how women empower other but this is an eg. how a mom with no knowledge of the field stood by her daughter. Her Dad Mr. Amerjeet Goswami who loved acting and also did theater in his young days motivated her in her modelling field even her first stage performance was in her childhood with her Dad. Her Husband Mr. Deepak Gosavi supported her to pursue her modelling career. Being an Actor, performer and Dancer himself he supports her to follow her passion.Her friends and well wishers Harshal Mistry and Ganesh Deokar also helped her in making ENVISAGE a successful Institute. Modelling and walking on ramp was on her bucket list since teenage that was recognized by her husband. So he groomed her very well and she came through as successful model.
