Souls of India

 Souls of India (SoI) is a Boston based Indian Creative Arts Collaboration company co-founded by Samadrita Bhattacharyya and Meghma Banerjee. Our mission is to elevate Indian classical arts in the community through innovative productions and push boundaries by collaborating with dancers, musicians, and vocalists across genres to tell stories rooted in Indian heritage while embracing global influences. We offer a vital platform to network with diverse artists, funders, and visionaries to showcase dynamic and impactful perspectives and foster cross-cultural dialogue.

We have hosted and performed at our independent sold-out ticketed concert Aikya-The Union in 2024 with live musicians from across the nation and directing and producing our fundraiser event "Sayyam- Journey of the seekers" in Cary Hall, Lexington, MA on Aug 10, 2025.
