Before You Enter the Real World is a 5-day summer intensive designed to bridge that gap.
This is not a theoretical course or a feel-good workshop.
It’s a hands-on, structured experience where you learn how to write emails that get replies, pitch ideas that make sense, and present yourself like someone who belongs in the room.
If you’re serious about entering the world of marketing, communication, or creative careers — this is where you start.
Before You Enter the Real World — 5 Day Summer Intensive
THE 5 DAYS
Each day builds a core skill — from understanding the industry to presenting your ideas with confidence.
-
An introduction to how marketing, branding, and communication actually function beyond textbooks. You’ll understand industry roles, expectations, and the common mistakes that make freshers seem unprepared from the start.
-
Focused on building clarity in how you express ideas — from emails and pitches to everyday professional communication. You’ll learn how to write with intent, structure, and confidence.
-
A breakdown of how strong ideas are built. You’ll learn to move beyond aesthetics and start thinking in terms of strategy, relevance, and execution.
-
A session led by a guest speaker from the industry, offering a real-world perspective on working in marketing, branding, or creative fields. This is your chance to understand expectations directly from someone actively working in the space — along with an open Q&A.
-
A practical, real-world exercise where you apply everything you’ve learned. You’ll work on a structured brief and present your ideas with clarity and intent.
Dates: 15th-19th June
Time: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Duration: 5 Days
Location: Kam & Kalm Studio, Delhi
Each day builds on the previous one — moving from understanding, to communication, to thinking, to real-world perspective, and finally execution.
By the end of the program, you walk away with clarity, structure, and a strong starting point.
What You Walk Away With
The Intern Starter Kit
A curated kit designed for your first step into the industry — including templates, frameworks, and tools you’ll actually use.
The Handbook (Signed)
A printed handbook by Kamya Gupta — covering writing formats, pitch structures, and key insights you’ll keep coming back to.
Real Assignments, Reading Materials & Feedback
You won’t just learn — you’ll apply. Every participant works on practical tasks with direct, honest feedback.
Final Project & Certificate
A complete, portfolio-ready project along with a certificate of completion — something you can actually show, not just mention.
About me
Hello!I didn’t start with clarity — I figured things out as I went.
I studied at Pearl Academy in Delhi and later at Condé Nast College of Fashion & Design in London, but most of what actually shaped me came from outside the classroom — internships, summer schools, freelance work, and being thrown into real environments where I had to learn fast.
I’ve worked with brands like Rahul Mishra, Sabyasachi, Longform, and across the F&B space — and in almost every space, I realised the same thing:
no one really teaches you how to communicate, how to think through ideas, or how to present yourself in a way that makes people take you seriously.
Alongside this, I’ve been a photographer for over 8 years — which taught me how to observe, adapt, and work with people long before I fully understood the industry.
And even then, there was a lot of trial and error.
Today, I run Kam & Kalm and build communities and creative projects — but getting here wasn’t linear, and it definitely wasn’t clear from the beginning.
This program exists because I know what it feels like to be interested in something… but not know how to start.
