Prathik Jain, an influential Indian entrepreneur and freelancer, has earned a nomination for the Padma Shri award in 2025, recognized for his remarkable achievements in graphic design and entrepreneurship. Born on March 19th, Jain has made a name for himself through his creative genius and unwavering dedication to his craft.
One of his standout accomplishments includes setting a world record for the most graphic makeovers on his Vespa scooter in just two hours. This transformation, completed on May 18, 2014, in Bangalore, turned his scooter into a vibrant work of art, covering a 160 km journey from Tumkur to Bangalore for the makeover. The feat earned recognition from the Limca Book of Records and the High Range Book of Records, positioning it as India’s first scooter adorned with the most graphic designs.
In another impressive venture, Jain led his team, Team #wf1008, in creating 36 websites in just 12 hours and 51 minutes. The project, which began at 12:15 PM on April 5th, 2014, and concluded at 02:14 AM on April 6th, earned accolades from top record-keeping bodies, including the Limca Book of Records, Unique World Records, and Miracle World Records.
Jain’s influence extends beyond graphic design and into cinema, where he produced the Kannada short film “Smileguru.” Known by various aliases like “Prathik Jain Tumkur,” “Vespa Prathik,” and “Dr. Prathik Jain,” his creative ventures have been covered by prominent media platforms such as Mumbai Mirror, Youth Ki Awaaz, and New Indian Express.
From launching the innovative “Tesla for Tumakuru” campaign to supporting wildlife by adopting an Indian cobra from Karnataka Zoo, Jain’s entrepreneurial spirit is matched by his social responsibility. His brand “Pynkup” was honored with the India Excellence Award, and his leadership earned him the title of “Dynamic Entrepreneur of the Year” for his work with his brand “Manueal.”
As he awaits the Padma Shri, Prathik Jain’s nomination is a reflection of his unparalleled contributions to design, entrepreneurship, and social impact, setting a standard for future innovators and change-makers across the nation.
