KIRAN - CHITRA DEVAKARUNI - CHAI & MEET

Celebrate 25 Years of Kiran with Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni!

This past weekend, we had the honor of hosting the renowned author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni at the NC Biotechnology Center for an inspiring and memorable event!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to making this gathering so special. We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Kailas Thakker and Dr. Kumi Silva for facilitating such insightful and meaningful discussions.

A special thank you to our wonderful MC, Sejal Mehta, for leading the event with such energy and grace. The evening began on a mesmerizing note with a Kathak performance by Shuchita Sakwaya and Seema Viswanath—thank you both for setting the stage so beautifully! A huge thank you to Kruti Parekh of StoryLand Photography for capturing the beauty of the event—take a look at these stunning photos! You can check out the rest on our FaceBook!

This event would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors: Drs. Kailas and Dhiren Thakker, Kawal Gumbar, Dr. Lisa Rahangdale, Pooja and Deepak Advani, and Drs. Renu and Sunil Jain. Your support enables us to continue our mission and serve our community.

A big thank you to Golden Fig Books from Durham & Carrboro for providing Chitra’s books at the event—selling out completely! Even better, 20% of the proceeds from these sales are going toward Kiran. You can still support this initiative by purchasing books at Golden Fig Books and using the coupon code “KIRAN” at checkout!

Together, we are making a difference. Thank you for being part of this journey!
