The Project
Contracts For Creators is a platform that provides contractual information freely for the empowerment of the creative community. We see this as a crucial tool for freshers and professionals to be able to strengthen their professional ties and protect themselves from unethical industry behaviour, late payments, unruly clients etc.
The website has been designed to be simple and hassle free. Contracts don't need to be complicated. They need to be functional.

The Team
Manojna Yeluri
Manojna is an entertainment, media and IP lawyer. She is the founder of Artistik License - a legal and business consultancy for artists and creative professionals.
A legal professional with a deep appreciation for creative entrepreneurship and the arts, Manojna launched Artistik License in 2013, and has been working with the creative community since.
She is a graduate of the NALSAR University of Law in Hyderabad, India and the UCLA School of Law, where she specialised in Entertainment, Media and Intellectual Property Law. Manojna has worked with different organisations, within the legal, creative and entrepreneurship eco-system. Prior to founding Artistik License, she worked with one of India’s leading corporate law firms, a pioneering digital legal publishing/education platform, and a policy-research think tank. She also led the content curation team for the Construkt Festival in 2015 – a revolutionary entrepreneurship festival based out of Bangalore, India.
Manojna appreciates the need for greater dialogue between the different stakeholders of the creative economy, and is dedicated towards furthering the same through her work. She also believes in the power of strengthening community and cultural exchange, which is why she prefers to stay location-independent. She believes that information is power, and needs to be made accessible to all members of the creative economy, in order to really see it thrive.
Always up for black coffee, Manojna likes to discover new music, write about all sorts of things, and obsess over science-fiction shows and movies.

A good day for him starts with a long run, and a heavy dose of indie music, followed with some meditation.
Ayesha Kapadia
Ayesha Kapadia is a multidisciplinary creative based in Bombay, India.
With a focus on exploring the surreal dimension, Ayesha's work spans across Art Direction, Illustration, Graphic Design, Image Making, Photography, Video and Film, Installation Design, Product Design, Branding and Identity, Creative Direction and Designing with Waste.
Kapadia began her career in advertising with Leo Burnett, Ogilvy&Mather, Black Swan Life and DDB Mudra after earning a Fine Art degree in Applied Arts and she has been working independently since 2014. This experience has given her a solid foundation on which she began her independant journey into the arts. As an independant artist, she enjoyed working with and has been commissioned by Parkeh & Singh, Prateek Kuhad, Bombay Perfumery, Verve Magazine, Dove, Harper's Bazaar, Tata Cliq, Okhai, Chindi, antiSocial, NH7 Weekender, and many more.
Ayesha is deeply inspired by nature, science, culture, Indian crafts, textiles, personal stories, experiences, memories, fragrances, feelings, music, movies and fashion.
Her work is born from a love of an ever evolving imaginary world where meaning is shifted and possible interpretations are multifaceted.
As an independant artist, Ayesha has worked with a multitude of clients and has had her fare share of chasing payments. She wants to create a tool to help young professionals to be able to protect themselves and be empowered and not have to go through what she went through. Ayesha understands that finding a suitable lawyer and then bearing the weight of the charges involved can be daunting for a fresher, so she wanted to create a tool that allows everyone to have access to the basics to begin with and feel empowered and in charge of their journey as independant artists.
