What people are saying

"A very good learning experience, with insight about ingredients that make blog and content writing more appealing, and also be cautious about the do's and dont's. Our Mentor (Kalyani S) was crisp and discreet in her feedback and we had to apply the knowledge we gained at every step of the course. The writing part was challenging but that's one reality about writing, it has never been easy."

“It was a learning experience that cleared most of the qualms I had about my own writings. Thank you Prof. Kalyani Desai, for the first time in all these years I could relate to most of the learnings you shared and I am now equipped to put them in practice. Thanks Living Bridge for hosting this enriching experience and my fellow participants.”
