The Prasad Bidapa Institute helps you discover the very best aspects of your personality & looks with a month-long immersive experience.

When education ends, learning begins. As India achieves premier global positioning, we need to teach young Indians the importance of presenting themselves to the world with confidence and sensitivity. It begins with the way you choose to lead your life, the polishing of your mind, the maintenance of your body and the nourishing of your soul. The complete Indian is a concept that needs to be explored, to examine and nurture the components of what makes us such a great nation! 

Flashback to just seven decades ago, when India was left the poorest of countries because of British Imperialism. Bled to the bone, India was bereft of its riches, a once wealthy subcontinent to one of the highest poverty indexes in the world. It is a shining testament to the powerful resilience and limitless spirit of a people who were determined to reverse their fortunes and achieve a seemingly impossible target. 

India prospered, and a population exploding at the seams turned out to be a blessing in disguise, for it gave us an educated and massive workforce who became the bedrock of India’s growth. India is shining, and every middle-class parent who sacrificed a great deal to educate their children were the architects of this shimmering edifice, a nation poised to lead the world. 

The young in India need the guidance now to grapple with their international counterparts on a sophisticated and worldly level. I have been fortunate to work with young people all my life, watching and marvelling as they evolved and chased their ambitions with single-minded dedication. We promoted the talent that we found, grooming and polishing them to perfection; opening the windows of their mind to the infinite possibilities that exist in the world beyond. We have discovered Bollywood personalities like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma, John Abraham, Dino Morea and many more.
In today’s world you are judged by appearances and the professional world demands a high level of style and grooming, which allows you to be taken seriously. From the basics of hygiene to more elaborate beauty rituals, both men and women today invest a huge amount of money on grooming products which are often very expensive. This combined with stylish and imaginative dressing creates an armour with which you can face every battle in your professional and private life.

At the Prasad Bidapa Institute, we begin with the external and progress to teaching the tenets of good health and the best eating habits. To maintain your mind at its optimum and your body at peak efficiency. We evaluate your physical appearance and suggest changes in your grooming routines and maintenance of body, skin & hair. Our styling experts guide you through your hair & make up choices, and wardrobe consultants put together the must-have basics you need to acquire. Fitness experts help you plan your gym & diet routines, and extended programs are available to personalise long term fitness goals. 

Accessories play an important part in the presentation of your image, and both men & women benefit from this immersive experience with top stylists, which helps them create a new persona, confident and attractive. 

Most Corporate Entities have a massive workforce, young Indians coming from every corner of our country into urban situations they are unfamiliar with. We teach them to navigate their professional lives by learning business and social etiquette that will serve them well throughout their lives. We teach them to dress suitably for every destination and situation, helping them shine in their respective spheres. These are outreach programs held at their own offices, as HR initiatives. 

Our Bridal Preparation course helps young couples create a blueprint for the various looks they need and helps them look their optimum best before their big day. 

We also offer a Model Training module to anyone who wants to enter the industry by preparing them in skill sets like runway training, photographic posing and TV Commercial workshops. These courses are often availed by people who want to look like models, even they may not want to be one themselves. Top models steer these courses. 

We offer Acting Workshops by industry professionals for aspiring young actors. This helps them a lot to face auditions with confidence and to land plum assignments. Summer acting workshops for children will be offered by Judith Bidapa.
