Radhika Bagdai: Weaving Stories, Culture, and Community into Lasting Connections

In a world where interactions are often fleeting and digital, there are still those rare individuals who create spaces where people truly feel seen, heard, and connected. Radhika Bagdai is one of them. An educator, storyteller, counsellor, and community builder, she has dedicated her work to something deeply human — the art of connection.

Whether she is narrating a tale with theatrical brilliance or bringing women together to celebrate culture and sisterhood, Radhika turns every moment into an experience of warmth and belonging.

Radhika Bagdai: Weaving Stories, Culture, and Community into Lasting Connections

LiveStoryArt — Where Stories Don’t Just Enter the Mind, They Touch the Heart

With LiveStoryArt, Radhika reimagines storytelling as a multisensory journey. Her performances go beyond narration — they are lived experiences. Through expressive dramatization, thoughtful character interpretations, props, costumes, and voice modulation, she invites children to step into the story rather than simply listen to it.

What makes her approach unique is her perspective-driven storytelling. She often retells traditional and mythological tales through different lenses — sometimes even through the eyes of misunderstood characters — encouraging children to build empathy, emotional intelligence, and independent thinking.

“Stories are more than entertainment. They are mirrors into human emotions.”

In a time where the world moves fast, Radhika Bagdai invites us to slow down — to listen, to share, and to belong.

Gahekti Gujaratan — Celebrating Culture, Sisterhood, and Shared Joy

If LiveStoryArt is Radhika’s creative canvas, Gahekti Gujaratan (GG) is her cultural heartbeat. What began as a small supportive space for Gujarati women in Pune has now flourished into one of the city’s most vibrant cultural communities — where strangers become friends, and friends become family.

More than just cultural gatherings, GG is a platform for empowerment. Home-based entrepreneurs, artists, and creators within the group find visibility, encouragement, and opportunities to showcase their work. The community reflects the ethos of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” — ensuring growth that is shared, celebrated, and sustained together.

At GG events, laughter rings loud, traditions find renewed pride, and every woman walks away feeling valued.

A Mission Rooted in Connection

Across every initiative, Radhika’s purpose remains steady — to nurture environments where people feel emotionally connected, culturally rooted, and creatively inspired.

She believes that:

• Stories heal

• Culture unites

• Community strengthens

And she embodies that belief in every gathering she leads and every expression she shares.

“Stories connect us. Culture grounds us. And love keeps us going.”

In a time where the world moves fast, Radhika Bagdai invites us to slow down — to listen, to share, and to belong. She is not merely telling stories or building groups; she is nurturing spaces where hearts recognize each other.

A storyteller.A culture bearer.A community weaver.

Above all — a connector of souls.
