Role you're checking

Calligrapher

Design & Media

Calligraphers create hand-lettered artwork using broad-nib dip pens, brush pens, and pointed copperplate nibs — producing wedding stationery suites (invitations, place cards, envelope addressing), brand identity pieces (logos, packaging callouts, custom wordmarks), and editorial lettering. In India the market is dominated by Instagram-driven freelance practices centred in Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, and Delhi, where solo practitioners build commission pipelines through wedding planners, D2C brands, luxury hospitality, and regional language clients seeking Devanagari or regional-script brushwork. Achyut Palav — whose Mumbai atelier has trained thousands of Devanagari calligraphers — shaped the premium end of the Indian market; his students' workshops now form a second-generation teaching economy from Pune to Hyderabad. Beyond weddings, calligraphers serve brand studios (Taneira, Forest Essentials, luxury packaging), publishers, and the growing gifting economy at Diwali and Valentine's Day, where bespoke hand-lettered pieces command 3-10x the price of digital equivalents.
