Renowned hair designer and make-up artist, Samantha Kochhar, has been appointed the Deputy Chief Expert Hairdressing by World Skills International. It is for the first time that the Hair Dressing Category India Skills has secured this title amongst 67 countries.

This inclusion in the world body will see Samantha Kochhar being a part of the World Team in organising and conducting the World Skills Hair Competition to be held in Abu Dhabi in 2017. The World Skills International sent Samantha Kochhar, a congratulatory note informing her of her appointment.

Speaking about this appointment, Samantha Kochhar, said “It is a great honour to get the position of Deputy Chief Expert World. I am very grateful to my Chief Expert and the World Skills Team for choosing me for this post. It is a great prestige to be a part of the World Skills Team because India entered the World Competition only last year in the Hair segment. I was the Technical Expert of Hair Dressing Skills for the World Skills 2015 Competition and trained the Indian competitor. I feel privileged to be representing my country on a World Forum. When you are part of the Skill Management Team, you are technically getting the whole competition going so for me it will be a huge learning experience. India is being recognized on an International platform and this only empowers me to create more winners for India. As a representative of the Indian Hairdressing Community in the World Forum, I believe that with this cap in our feather, the Indian Hairdressing Industry has been acknowledged on a Global Level.”
