A4 Paper - Guardian - I didn’t set out to draw a guardian, but that’s what emerged

www.cosmicurban.com: Interest in sustainability paved the way to express the concept that the cosmos and urban are always connected, using art as a medium. With an engineering background and graduation in 1980, Jagan briefly worked at HHE, Easun, before venturing into entrepreneurship, and establishing his solenoid coil factory. This period led to interactions with US consultants, inspiring the creation of a Bulletin Board Service in Bangalore during the nascent internet era. Jagan founded MatexNet in 1995, revolutionizing online surplus auctions in India. MatexNet emerged as a platform connecting surplus inventories, redefining inventory management. In 2017, he shifted his focus to art and painting, guided by Shri M.G Doddamani, exploring various mediums. Despite pandemic challenges, he produced over 200 art pieces, culminating in his 2023 solo exhibition, ‘Cosmic Urban Connect,’ at Chitra Kala Parishath, Bangalore and in 2024 at Nehru Centre, Mumbai. Jagan’s story embodies innovation, entrepreneurial experience, and an artistic adventure, showcasing willpower and passion.
