About suchi

building bridges

For over 3 decades, Suchi has built bridges between disparate disciplines, and helped people upgrade their aspirations and achievements in the workplace and at home.

 

For over two decades, she’s carefully nurtured dancers at her dance studio, Kala Vandanam, weaving the depth, strength and grace of Indian classical dance and music with the energy of the western diaspora.

Suchi’s journey spans continents, cultures and professional paths, giving her a unique worldview. Bridging Indian culture and values with contemporary American aspirations and opportunities is one of her greatest assets. Like many women, she spent years trying to fit into a mold before realizing that embracing her multifaceted identity unlocked her full potential.

 

Through entrepreneurship, teaching, performance arts, writing, speaking and creative pursuits, she discovered our diverse talents aren't meant to be compartmentalized—they're meant to flow together in harmony.

 

Today, Suchi is passionate about helping people, especially women, embrace their ambitions and avoid waiting years (or decades) to step into their power. Her mission is to guide you in (re)claiming your ambitions, and take action to make the impact you are meant to make... all while keeping your soul intact.
