I have known Dr Pooja as a colleague for more than a decade. Her theoretical knowledge, combined with practical know-how and her empathetic approach towards designing and delivering it, makes her a unique teacher and mentor. She consistently ranked at the top in the annual student feedback rankings for teachers. I have firsthand experience with her inclusive approach through lecture audit, which encourages even the most reserved students to participate actively in class discussions and practical sessions. Any academic institution would be privileged to have Dr. Pooja as a valuable member of its faculty.

Dr. Pooja Jain has been my mentor for over 7 years, guiding me through both my undergraduate and postgraduate design education. Her depth of knowledge in branding, advertising, portfolio development, and research is both inspiring and transformative. As a Ph.D. holder, she consistently encouraged me to explore academic writing and research papers — opening new doors in design thinking. Beyond her subject expertise, her mentorship is grounded in empathy, clarity, and a strong belief in her students’ potential. Her guidance has played a vital role in shaping my career and mindset as a designer. Learning under her has been truly invaluable.

My thoughts on Dr.Pooja Jain as an exceptional teacher are based on my reflections on my interaction with her as a colleague, and also what I have heard from numerous students of Pooja.
Total commitment, meticulousness, and precision in any task Pooja undertakes, be it a project or teaching a course, is what distinguishes Pooja from the rest. Pooja’s domain expertise in her chosen areas of specialization, combined with an interdisciplinary approach and experimental dexterity, brings to her teaching that goes beyond just what the subject matter entails; instead, it also enriches the students with a range of scalable, reconfigurable, and transferrable skills that are so vital to navigate the current times of rapid technological advancement. Pooja’s passion for mentoring students is something that lets the courses she teaches continue to evolve beyond the fixed classroom framework.

I have worked closely with Pooja for around five years at the Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology, especially for a year or so in Academic Office of the Postgraduate Program. Pooja's visual communication practice is strongly rooted in her research, and she brings depth and structure to her student's learning. She has been an incredibly supportive collogue and engaging with her has contributed to my own learning and growth.
