An MBA graduate with a specialization in Finance, I quit my corporate career after 11 years to dedicate my services to giving visibility and voice to Indian community. Recognition and Representation for Indian community, culture, contribution is my primary goal, amongst others. At the heart of my endeavors lies Live2Dance, a thriving dance studio that transcends its physical space to become a beacon of inclusivity, empowerment, and cultural celebration. Live2Dance has become a synonym for 'home away from home' for thousands of immigrants, providing solace, support, and a sense of belonging. I was recently awarded the 'Most Admired Global Indian Award' and was recognized in the esteemed Marquee’s Who’s Who in America, highlighting my contributions towards helping hundreds navigate life's challenges. Many Indians credit their survival in the US to Live2Dance, and many have moved to Seattle to be a part of this community. Such is the role our community is playing in sanity of Indians away from home. I also serve as the chair of the Indian Advisory Council, collaborating with the SPD, OPA, and the Department of Neighborhoods to foster better relationships and bridge the cultural gaps between these authorities and the Indian community—helping us work together to create a safer and more inclusive world. In addition, I founded a nonprofit organization called Live2Serve, with a mission to leave the world better than we found it. This initiative focuses on four pillars: Indian representation, women’s empowerment, sustainability, and community upliftment. As you can see, I wear many hats, but the one I wear with the most pride is that of an immigrant working to build a community and bridge cultural differences.
