An educator, storyteller, and community builder who turns stories into experiences — and strangers into sisters.
Step into any space where Radhika Bagdai is — and you’ll instantly feel her warmth.
She’s a storyteller, educator, counsellor, and social entrepreneur who believes in one simple thing — connection is magic.
Through her two heartfelt ventures — LiveStoryArt and Gahekti Gujaratan — Radhika beautifully weaves creativity and community into everyday life.
LiveStoryArt – Where Stories Come Alive
At LiveStoryArt, Radhika transforms storytelling into a theatrical experience.
With costumes, expressions, props, and voice modulation, she brings every character to life — making children not just listen to stories, but live them.
Her twist? She retells classic and mythological tales from fresh perspectives — sometimes even through the so-called villain’s eyes — to teach empathy and emotional depth.
“Stories are not just for fun,” she says. “They help us understand feelings and each other better.”
Gahekti Gujaratan – A Sisterhood of Joy
If LiveStoryArt is her creative heart, Gahekti Gujaratan (GG) is her cultural soul.
What began as a small WhatsApp group for Gujarati women in Pune has blossomed into one of the city’s most vibrant and heartfelt communities —
a space where women proudly celebrate being Gujarati while embracing friendship, laughter, and belonging.
But Gahekti Gujaratan is more than just a community — it’s a platform for growth. This community passionately supports home-based entrepreneurs, giving them visibility, opportunities, and confidence to take their work to new heights. She strongly believes in our Prime Minister’s vision of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” — growth with everyone and for everyone.
A Storyteller Who Builds Connections
Whether performing on stage or hosting a GG gathering, Radhika’s mission remains the same — to bring people together through emotion, expression, and empathy.
She believes stories have the power to heal hearts and cultures have the power to unite souls. And in everything she does — from a child’s smile during a story to a woman’s smile at a GG event — her message shines through:
“Stories connect us. Culture grounds us. And love keeps us going.”
