A chance project with a London-based design house lead on to projects with Pierre Cardin and Christian Dior, amongst other design houses. She had already started working with her mentor, Nehru Fellowship Awardee, Narendra Srivastava. Soon, Geeta left the world of commercial design to start focusing on her real love - painting. Her first exhibition, on Concrete Poetry, the poetry in the Devnagri script, "Ansh" was held at AIFACS, New Delhi, accompanied by a book of the same name. Ansh was a step in the letterist movement. The work was received by the father of Concrete Poetry and international Concrete poetry expert, Prof Eugen Gomringer, and is permanently placed in the archives in Selbe, Germany.
