On Sep 3, the National Australian Bank was filled with excitement and inspiration, as the talented SHAKTIS of Sarvam, took center stage. This event held during a special visit from their CEO, Andrew Irvine and board of directors, was a testament to the power of confidence, talent and opportunity.


 A DAY OF TALENT AND INSPIRATION

The event opened up with four stunning dance performances by the Shaktis, each one brimming with grace and energy. Their confidence, precision and powerful experiences captivated the audience, leaving many in awe. From graceful classical moves to energetic modern beats, each performance was unique, reflecting the hurdles faced by women in our society for pursuing their dreams, they shared the diversity, strength and power of the empowered women. The CEO Hemangi Bhatnagar Ma’am addressed the audience and stated that learning under Sarvam is not only for skills, it is for creating an identity for themselves.

For many of the onlookers, it was hard to believe that these talented Shaktis came from marginalized communities. The level of skills, demeanor and professionalism they displayed spoke volumes about the grooming they have received from the safe walls of Sarvam.

 


ENGAGING WITH THE CEO

After the wonderful performances, our Shaktis participated in a Q&A session with the NAB’s CEO Andrew Irvine. Their fearless approach to ask questions ranging from the leadership aspects to business impressed everyone in the room. The various speeches given by our Shaktis showed their boldness and curiosity they have developed over time through Sarvam’s guidance. The confidence with which they engaged Andrew and the board showed how far our Shaktis have come.



INSPIRATION BEYOND THE STAGE

The event didn’t end with the stage interaction only. Our Shaktis were given the opportunity to explore NAB’s office spaces. This was more than just a tour for them, it was a glimpse into a world of possibility. Walking through the halls of one of the leading financial institutions sparked hope and inspiration in each of them. It inspired many of them to dream big and achieve their goals.

 

HOPE IN MOTION

The Shaktis’ performances weren’t just an event, it was a powerful message of hope and possibility. Through the support of Sarvam and platforms provided like NAB, our Shaktis are on a path to achieving greatness. The Shaktis were rewarded with gift hampers not only as a gift but as a symbol of appreciation and support from the NAB. Shaktis showed everyone that talent exists everywhere and with the right guidance of Sarvam, it can flourish.

 

FUELING AMBITION AND HOPE

The Shaktis left the NAB office not just as performers but as young leaders with dreams, ambition and confidence to pursue them. Shaktis expressed their gratitude and emotions towards the event and Sarvam, as how it has helped them a lot to demonstrate the resilience, strength and courage at the main stage and that has brought them to where they are today filled with utter confidence and a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.



We look forward to seeing where their journey takes them next, confident that the seeds of hope planted will grow into a remarkable future.
