Bio
Sobhana (Shob-na) Jaya-Madhavan
A veteran journalist with international experience, Viney listens with intent and conveys stories with an eye for detail and appreciation for diverse viewpoints. It has been a pleasure working with Viney in Vancouver.
Dinker Vashisht (he/him)
Viney was a colleague of mine during my stint at The Economic Times during 2005-07. He was a trusted colleague, willing to go beyond the call of duty. He has a deep understanding of region's political and social landscape. This was possible because of his innate empathy and his willingness to get do active ground work, rather than restrict himself to arm chair analysis. Personally we have managed to stay in touch even after my moving on from Economic Times. I would describe him as someone who is trustworthy, sincere and always willing to lend a helping hand, without any expectations in return. He is a good resource for any organisation. My best wishes for his future endeavors.

We would perform, manage, act, facilitate one of the biggest conglomeration of theatre artists from all over the world, during the Bharat Rango Mahotsav. It was a big opportunity to rub shoulders with the best names in Global Theatre and Bollywood, as many of them would perform at the month long festival. Besides that the school would hold productions through out the year.
