As a plus size model in India, you can definitely take advantage of the opportunities that exist. You can also work for national-level organizations like Fashion India or even the Indian Fashion Week. This will give you a platform to show your talent. It also provides you an opportunity to network with other models. All these opportunities and many more should be reason enough for you to decide to work in India.

Working as a plus-size model in India is, of course, not easy. As a plus-size model in any country, you are always required to carry extra weight on your body and this may sometimes put you under pressure. However, you will see that working as a plus-size model in India gives you so many benefits. Let us take a look at them.

FIRST OF ALL, WHEN WORKING AS A MODEL IN AN INDIAN AGENCY, YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A LOT OF CONTACTS AND LEARN ABOUT DIFFERENT STYLES OF MODELING.

Your career options are definitely better than your local alternatives. Since you are working with a bigger brand, the opportunities are much higher and you can travel around the country and can work with international brands. You will also have a say in the budget and the style of the clothes. As a matter of fact, your Indian agent can even help you move to other cities of India. This will give you a lot of contacts and it may even open doors to other opportunities.

You will find that most of the models who work as models in the US or in the UK have very little experience of working as a model in India.

So, working as a model in an Indian model agency gives you an opportunity to gain experience. On the other hand, you will also be given training in the different elements of the Indian style of dressing. You can attend fashion shows and parties in different parts of India and get a feel of Indian life. Fashion design is a very important part of Indian culture and you can learn from the professionals in this field. You can even visit famous fashion houses in India and receive training in the technicalities of making Indian dresses.

Another advantage of working as a plus-size model in an Indian agency is that you will be exposed to many Indian men and women. Your work as a model in such a model agency will therefore give you an opportunity to know people in Indian society. Since there are many other models in an agency, you will therefore not be alone in working with people. Moreover, you will therefore have the chance to mingle with people of different races and backgrounds.
