Words and Dance form my creative identity. I have a Masters Degree in Mass Communication
from Symbiosis Institute of Mass Communication (Pune). I worked in Television news and event
management (NDTV, AajTak-Headlines Today, Showhouse Events) for over 11 years. Meanwhile
having found my calling in Kathak dance under Guru Pandit Chitresh Das and Seema Mehta, I
began training under them at Chhandam Nritya Bharati in 2010. I continue to train under the
guidance of Madhuri Devi Singh and Joanna de Souza. I head marketing and communication for
the institution since 2012.
