Suranjan Hunjan, a 25-year-old artist and entrepreneur from Jalandhar, never planned to become an artist. With a professional degree in commerce and a path set toward a corporate career, she stumbled upon resin art during the pandemic. Today, she runs 'Resin It,' a venture that transforms wedding moments into handcrafted keepsakes, preserving rituals, emotions, and celebrations in detailed resin pieces.
The Accidental Artist
Born in Ludhiana and raised partly in Nigeria, Suranjan returned to India to complete her B.Com professional degree from Christ University, Bangalore. With a background in finance, she was heading toward a conventional career until the COVID-19 lockdown changed her trajectory. While scrolling through Pinterest, she came across resin art. What started as curiosity soon turned into experimentation. She ordered basic materials and began trying the craft on her own. The early days were full of trial and error. 'Many pieces did not turn out the way I expected, but I kept going. Slowly, I began understanding the medium better and refining my work,' she recalled. 'I realised the material had so much potential, but it needed patience and attention to detail.'
Building a Venture
In 2022, Suranjan turned her learning phase into a small venture called 'Resin It.' She started with resin coasters made for her neighbours and close ones. As people began sharing her work, orders picked up through word of mouth and social media. Over time, wedding-related art became the core of her work. Her garland frames, which combine spiritual text with resin design, became particularly popular, with over 500 pieces made so far. One of her larger projects came in February 2026, when she completed 120 frames for a single wedding order.
What Makes Her Work Unique
What sets Suranjan apart is not just the product but the process. From sourcing materials and designing each piece to packaging and managing dispatch, she handles every stage herself. Her creations include sahi chithis, garland preservation pieces, and customised frames. 'I call myself an accidental artist,' she says, describing a journey she never planned. As demand for personalised wedding keepsakes grows, Suranjan continues to build her work quietly, focused on simple detailing, steady growth, and turning fleeting wedding moments into something that lasts.
