I collaborated with Gowri during Pride Month, and her exceptional storytelling through traditional Karnataka puppetry was truly captivating. The stories beautifully drew real-life parallels to workplace conversations and effectively addressed biases about the LGBTQ+ community. Her professionalism shone through as she handled audience questions with ease, demonstrating her deep knowledge. Working with Gowri was not just a professional delight but also a personal inspiration. Best wishes to the Indian Shades team!

Gowri is an excellent curator of DE&I programs designed to tell powerful stories by using Indian art forms. Her delivery is flawless and so is her amazing attention to detail.

It was such a fun and entertaining performance Gowri! What I loved most was how the subject never lost its essence even while maintaining the sensitivity towards so many various aspects (of belonging and inclusion). Also, Bhamini was quite a tough cookie to impress even by someone as might as Veerabhadra (as she should have been considering she was choosing a life partner which is one of the most crucial and significant decisions one has to make). Thank you for all the innovative ways you connect with people, entertaining them, sensitising them and also create awareness about little know facts from our mythology.

Her captivating artworks reflect a profound understanding of diverse cultures, inspiring creativity and fostering an appreciation for cultural heritage. Through her art, she has the power to ignite meaningful conversations and bridge gaps, making her a true cultural ambassador. A phenomenal artist making a significant impact!

Gowri is a wonderful ally to have by your side at every D&I event. She not only understands D&I well but also uses her own unique blend of dance and contemporary techniques to sensitise an audience. She also has the ability to comprehend exact client requirements and then tweak her performance accordingly, so as to meet client's expectations perfectly, every time. Her performances leave audiences engaged, excited and enthralled and clients thoroughly satisfied.

A great session under the D&I umbrella "Where does the rainbow begin" was facilitated for two consecutive years. Gowri was able to understand the needs for my organisation and curate this program for a clear understanding of the meaning of Diversity and the acceptable behaviours of being inclusive. All our employees who participated in her session had great learnings to go back and apply where ever possible. I hope we keep recreating the magic through your distinctive and creative learning methods. Thank you for priortizing us and being so accommodating always.

I had the pleasure of engaging with her for an internal event that had over 300 attendees, and we shared four stories that centered around women in tech, persons with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and employee wellbeing through legacy traditional stories portrayed with puppets. The event was a huge success, thanks in large part to Gowri's creativity, professionalism, and deep knowledge of Indian art and culture.

Gowri created a beautiful experience of showcasing our Indian culture to a Global audience. The experience throughout the session was gripping, creative, meaningful graceful and mesmerising. Employees loved her session and is beautifully giving this art form a true global representation. She organizes quality workshops. Virtually creating a gripping experience is challenging but Gowri does a great job by putting the entire show together. Thank you for such an amazing session and we look forward to more such sessions from you.

Gowri created a wonderful experience for our LWP participants by teaching them how to sign their names in traditional dance hand movements. She is incredibly engaging and graceful. While none of the participants could come close to her eloquent moves, signing their names in traditional movements created a deep connection to history. She created a really meaningful experience for everyone.
Dwight Cook

Gowri's warmth and enerygy elevates the energy of the room which can be a difficult task to do in an online environment, Gowri does it so effortlessly. She possesses a unique talent for actively involving all participants, ensuring that everyone feels engaged and included. What truly sets Gowri apart is her remarkable skill in seamlessly weaving Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles into Indian stories and art forms, creating an intriguing and enlightening experience for all.

I highly recommend Indian Shades and its founder, Gowri Priya Sethuram, as a versatile and exceptional employee engagement specialist. We have had the pleasure of collaborating with Gowri and her team on various engagement sessions, and each time, they have brought out the true essence of the topic, whether it's traditional culture or corporate culture. Indian Shades' pool of artists, trainers, and speakers are truly brilliant, and their commitment to delivering the best experience is evident in every session. Gowri herself is a remarkable artist, and her events like Kampany Katcheri and Yakshagana have entertained and engaged our audience beyond expectations. We look forward to continuing our engagement with Indian Shades and bringing more of their engaging programs to our clients and their employees. If you are seeking an exceptional employee engagement experience, Indian Shades is the go-to choice!
