Prathik Jain: Padma Shri Nominee 2025 for Excellence in Entrepreneurship and Design
Prathik Jain, a dynamic figure in Indian entrepreneurship and freelance graphic design, has been nominated for the prestigious Padma Shri award in 2025. Born on March 19, Jain has earned widespread recognition for his groundbreaking work in both graphic design and entrepreneurial ventures. His creative vision and tireless dedication have placed him at the forefront of his field.
One of Jain’s most notable achievements is his record-setting graphic makeover on his Vespa scooter. On May 18, 2014, in Bangalore, Jain transformed the scooter into a striking piece of art in under two hours, covering 160 kilometers from Tumkur to Bangalore for the makeover. This feat earned him accolades from the Limca Book of Records and High Range Book of Records, marking it as India’s first scooter decorated with such a vast number of graphic designs.
Jain’s influence doesn’t stop there. In another remarkable endeavor, he and his team, known as Team #wf1008, developed 36 websites in a record-breaking 12 hours and 51 minutes. This project, carried out from April 5th to 6th in 2014, garnered recognition from record authorities like the Limca Book of Records and Miracle World Records.
Beyond the world of design, Jain has also ventured into filmmaking, producing the acclaimed Kannada short film “Smileguru.” His entrepreneurial and creative achievements have made waves in media outlets like Mumbai Mirror and Youth Ki Awaaz.
As Prathik Jain awaits the announcement of the Padma Shri 2025, his contributions continue to inspire budding entrepreneurs and designers alike, establishing him as a true trailblazer in both fields.
