Vasundhara is a lover of art, literature, music, sport, travel, and nature. She brings a unique touch to stories whether it is narration, performances, voiceovers, adaptations, or writing. Her talent for creating original, lyrical content springs from her love for language– both Hindi and English. She has performed for a wide and varied audience across schools, literature festivals, book launches, read-aloud sessions, libraries, bookstores, NGOs among other spaces and formats. She has lent her voice to an audio stories project for Parag, an initiative by Tata Sons and has adapted and performed Oomna– a story project on a girl child who dares to dream. She has also adapted folk tales for
children, for Viacom’s voot kids app, and has translated stories for Pratham Books.
