About

Radhika Chadha is a Bangalore-based artist whose work spans writing, consulting and sculpture.

​

After completing an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad and qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, she began her career in banking before establishing a consulting firm specialising in innovation strategy. Alongside her consulting work, she authored two books on management and wrote a monthly strategy column for the Hindu Business Line. She has written seven picture books, including the best-selling Baby Bahadur series, and she also co-wrote the script for Mandhukya Sant Vani, a theatrical performance.

​

Her engagement with art began with papier-mâché mask-making as a hobby. A workshop on sculpting with handmade paper, with Philadelphia-based artist Carol Cole, prompted a deeper exploration of sculpture. Since then, she has developed her practice largely through self-directed experimentation, working with handmade paper, paper clay, found and discarded objects and acrylic paints.

​

A common thread across her varied professional and creative pursuits is a belief in the power of storytelling and an interest in combining materials and ideas in imaginative ways.
