Upasana Sarma: The Young Visionary Revolutionizing the Art Industry

Nalbari, Assam – In an era where entrepreneurship is reshaping industries, Upasana Sarma, also known as Upasana Queen Sarma, stands as a beacon of inspiration. At just 21 years old, she took a bold leap by founding U.S Art Gallery, a global platform that has now gained recognition across 17 countries. Today, she is one of Assam’s youngest self-made female entrepreneurs, proving that passion and perseverance can overcome any obstacle.

The Early Years: A Story of Determination

Born on December 14, 1999, in Nalbari, Assam, Upasana’s journey was anything but easy. Despite coming from a modest background, she excelled in academics, earning a Diploma in Electrical Engineering from Assam Engineering Institute in 2021 and later completing her Bachelor’s degree in Arts from Krishna Kanta State Open University in 2022.

Alongside her studies, she gained hands-on experience by working as a Trainee Engineer at Indian Oil Corporation Limited and later as an ISP Engineer at Bharti Airtel. However, she soon realized her true calling lay elsewhere—in the world of art, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

Building an Empire with Just ₹50

With only ₹50 in hand, Upasana took a bold step and launched U.S Art Gallery in 2021. What started as a small initiative has now transformed into a global movement connecting artists, curators, and art enthusiasts worldwide.

📍 Headquartered in Nalbari, Assam, U.S Art Gallery operates primarily online, providing artists with a platform to showcase their talent, enroll in certification courses, and participate in grand exhibitions.

In 2024, she expanded her venture further by launching a clothing brand under the U.S Art Gallery, focusing on Indian art-inspired designs.

Breaking Barriers & Making History

Being a young woman entrepreneur in a male-dominated society came with its own challenges. Upasana faced skepticism, societal pressure, and financial struggles, yet she never backed down. Her philosophy? “Risk takers are the history makers.”

Her relentless drive has earned her numerous accolades:

🏆 India Book of Records Holder (2020)
🏆 Bravo International Book of Records Holder (2020)
🏆 Excellence Award by India Book of Records (2021)
🏆 National Women Pride Award by Navbharat Rashtriya Gyanpeeth, Maharashtra (2022)

A Role Model for Future Entrepreneurs

Beyond her achievements, Upasana Sarma is a symbol of resilience, creativity, and empowerment. Her journey from a student with a dream to the CEO of a globally recognized platform serves as an inspiration to young entrepreneurs—especially women—who aspire to create something of their own.

“I have only achieved 5% of my dreams. There’s a long way to go, and I will continue dreaming and executing,” says Upasana.

Her story is a reminder that success doesn’t come from comfort—it comes from courage. With her unwavering spirit, Upasana is set to redefine the art industry and inspire countless others to chase their dreams.
