Hi, I’m Avinash — performer, facilitator, and full-time believer in the power of play (and well-timed silence).

For over a decade, I’ve worked across theatre stages, corporate boardrooms, film sets, classrooms, and community spaces — using improvisation, storytelling, and presence to help people reconnect with themselves and each other.

​

I’ve acted in feature films (Fairy Folks, Crew), ads for brands like Cadbury and ICICI, and web series with MTV and Smiling Monk. I’ve also facilitated workshops for companies like Netflix, Tata Power, Quess Corp, and Scopely — using improv to sneak trust, feedback, collaboration, and creativity into the workplace (without anyone dozing off).

Some days, I’m coaching senior leaders. Other days, I’m running a theatre sports session for high schoolers at American School Bombay or JBCN. And then there are the deeply grounding moments — working with kids in state-run schools, orphanages, or juvenile centers, where expression and play are more than just tools — they’re lifelines.

​

This space — and a lot of my work — is rooted in the idea of deconstructing the self. Breaking down the polished, performative versions we carry around, and getting back to something a little more real. A little more present. A little more playful.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you’re here.

​

P.S. I’m always open to unlikely collaborations — whether you need a curious workshop lead, an improv-inspired team jolt, or a grounded character for your next film or ad. Let’s talk.
