SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL VENTURES

Rhythms & Beats
Anupama strongly believes that dancing is done from soul more than one’s body. “Rhythms & Beats” is her dance enterprise through which she conducts dance workshops and events in Hyderabad. From Contemporary to Hip-Hop to Semi-Classical to Rock and Roll, she aims to bring variation in her choreography through different dance styles. She also caters to individual choreography requests for Sangeet performances and other personal/official events.

Last year, Rhythms & Beats conducted its first public event – a Dance Marathon in which 120+ people participated and it was appreciated by one and all. This year, she intends to take the brand a step ahead with more events done at a larger scale and wishes to continue to spread the love for dancing in more and more people.

Beyond the Box
Anupama says that sometimes dreams chase us. This is what happened in her case when a casual attempt at exploring mentoring turned out to be a life changing experience for her. Urged by some friends, in June 2017, Anupama conducted her first 3-day creative writing workshop for 25 kids. In those 3 days she realized that she was meant to mentor kids and that it came very naturally to her.

She also figured that kids are forced to imagine and express in a certain way most of the times and decided that she would provide them an environment where they can express without being judged. She started taking regular classes and also began to get invited by schools and corporates for workshops. When the work started increasing in this space, she launched her brand “Beyond the Box” to streamline it all.

Through her guidance, many kids have shown vast improvement in not just their writing skills or reading habits, but also in their overall personality development as her approach is holistic. Some of her students have got published in coveted magazines, online platforms and newspapers and have also won national level writing competitions. She has also recently launched some online programs and is gearing up for some wonderful initiatives for adults as well.

Tingle Your Taste Buds
Anupama did not just pursue her passion after resigning from Infosys but helped her mother pursue her passion too. Her mother was always passionate about cooking and fostered a dream to open her own restaurant. When Anupama realized that her mother had let go of her dreams for taking care of the family, she decided to do something about it.

Opening a restaurant at that point was not feasible due to certain constraints but she did something else. She started a cookery page for her mother “Tingle Your Taste Buds” where she could share her cooking recipes and tips. They took it one step at a time and what started as a small page is today a popular and award-winning portal with a dedicated subscriber base.

They reach out to food lovers from across the globe and believe in making the process of cooking simple for everyone. This venture runs through advertisements and collaborations and Anupama and her mother are now working on their first cookery book which is slated for a release in the next couple of months. #KhabarLive
