Storytelling and Puppetry Training in Bengaluru
Beyond the puppet stage, I love sharing the magic of storytelling. From teacher training workshops to guest lectures for young entrepreneurs, let's explore how puppetry and creative narratives can transform your classroom or business.

About Speaking & Professional Training
My training sessions are not about reading from a manual. Whether I am working with primary school teachers on voice modulation or speaking to college students about the reality of running a creative venture, I use the same interactive techniques I use with kids. We will get hands-on with puppets, practice real-world performance skills, and talk about the grit it actually takes to build a brand that spreads joy.
Storytelling is a universal tool, and I am passionate about teaching others how to wield it. My workshops cover the craft of puppetry, but they go much deeper.
For Educators
I guide teachers through the practical application of storytelling in the classroom. We explore how to use voice modulation, facial expressions, and simple puppets to turn a standard lesson into an interactive experience that keeps students engaged. These sessions are designed for preschool, primary, and special education teachers who want to bring more energy into their daily teaching.
For Creative Entrepreneurs
I frequently speak at institutions like Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology and Kristu Jayanti College about the journey of building Tickles & Tales. I share the unfiltered side of entrepreneurship—the highs, the challenges, and the 'million dollar smiles' that keep me going. It is a chance to show students and aspiring creators that creativity is a viable, soulful career path.
Why choose these sessions?
It is simple—I bring 13 years of field experience. I have performed at countless events, adapted to diverse audiences, and built a brand from scratch. When you attend my workshop or invite me to speak, you are not getting theory; you are getting the practical, honest roadmap I have used to turn a passion into a profession. Let's connect and find a format that works for your team or students. 🧿
Tickles&Tales
Hi, I’m Aarti! For the last 13 years, I’ve been living and breathing storytelling through Tickles & Tales. When I’m not performing, I love helping others find their own creative voice, whether that’s a teacher looking to liven up their classroom or a student curious about entrepreneurship.
