[edit] Brief
India's fashion guru Prasad Bidapa is a man who wears many hats. He is a choreographer, stylist, fashion journalist and entrepreneur, a socialite, but above all he is considered to be the man with the magic touch when choosing the next Top Model who will rule the Indian and Global runways. He has carved a distinctive superficial niche for himself in the Indian fashion scenario, which makes him such a "sought-after" personality in the fashion industry.
His projects like the India Men’s Fashion Fair in Bangalore held up to 2008 and the Kingfisher Fashion awards up to 2002. He presents some of the largest fashion events in India, and his training programme for models is legendary for having created some of the biggest names in fashion and film, like Lara Dutta, Dino Morea, Anushka Sharma, to name a few.
His work as an image and fashion consultant has created a state-of-the-art approach to retail fashion and branding exercises.
