On some days at Parul University, the campus feels less like a university and more like a movie set.
In one corner, you’ll spot a design student striking poses in the golden sunlight, turning everyday backdrops into fashion runways. Just a few steps away, another student is capturing steam rising from a plate of momos—making you crave a taste before you even find the stall.
These aren’t just random scenes; they’re the stories of Nakshatra and Harshit Mehta. She, a design student whose eye for fashion transforms fabric into narratives. He, a B.Tech student whose camera lens makes food look—and feel—unforgettable.
What started as passion projects between lectures has now grown into influence that stretches beyond campus walls, reaching brands, cities, and audiences across India. Their journeys reflect the spirit of Parul University: where creativity is never limited to classrooms, but encouraged to travel, connect, and inspire.
Nakshatra: When Fashion Speaks Without Words
Step inside the Faculty of Design, and you’ll find Nakshatra—camera in one hand, fabric swatches in the other. Her style isn’t loud; it’s subtle, refined, and layered with meaning. A sunlit corridor becomes her runway, a cup of coffee turns into a statement piece, and her outfits always carry a story in every seam.
What began as casual posts shared with friends quickly captured attention far beyond Vadodara. Today, Nakshatra collaborates with brands across the country—local designers in Ahmedabad, accessory labels in Mumbai, and sustainable fashion houses in Delhi. Her portfolio is as diverse as her inspirations, yet she remains grounded, still drawing creative spark from everyday campus life—autumn leaves by the library, handmade paper in the studio, and the cultural medley walking past her in the hallways.
Harshit Mehta: The Taste of a Story
While Nakshatra tells stories through fashion, Harshit does it through food. You’ll often find him leaning over a plate of momos or waiting for the perfect light on a frosted cake in a café. But for him, it’s not just about taste—it’s about memory, culture, and connection.
Through his photos and reviews, roadside chai becomes nostalgia in a paper cup, and a chef’s signature dish becomes a tale of tradition. His work has taken him far beyond the campus—to street food festivals in Indore, artisanal dessert tastings in Pune, and high-end restaurant openings in Jaipur.
Balancing his passion with the rigor of a B.Tech schedule isn’t easy, but Harshit credits his engineering mindset with helping him structure, experiment, and innovate in his craft.
A Campus That Nurtures More Than Degrees
Parul University is more than its classrooms and labs—it’s a living canvas. For Nakshatra, it’s the perfect backdrop for her fashion shoots; for Harshit, it’s a never-ending food trail.
Here, education goes beyond academics. A project can become content, a hobby can grow into a brand, and a classroom idea can find its way into the world. Faculty and mentors encourage students to merge their passions with their studies, creating a space where both degrees and dreams flourish together.
More Than Followers: Building Communities
In today’s world, influence is often measured in likes, shares, and followers. But for Nakshatra and Harshit, it’s about something deeper—connection.
Nakshatra’s audience doesn’t just admire her outfits; they gain confidence in their own self-expression. Harshit’s followers don’t just seek food recommendations; they begin to notice and appreciate the cultural stories behind their own meals.
They don’t chase trends; they create moments. And that’s the truest form of influence.
An Invitation to Dream
If you’re a student walking across this campus today—strumming a guitar, sketching in a notebook, or sharing street food with a friend—remember: your passion has a home here.
Nakshatra and Harshit began with small posts and simple ideas. What turned those sparks into influence was not just their talent, but an ecosystem that embraced creativity, encouraged experimentation, and celebrated expression.
At Parul University, we don’t just watch your journey—we walk beside you. We celebrate your milestones, guide you through challenges, and cheer when your work inspires others.
Because here, influence isn’t just about being in the spotlight. It’s about stories—shared, retold, and carried far beyond the campus, to new people, new places, and new horizons.
