My Story
Started out as a bunch of friends, painting and laughing on Sundays, just wanting to give back. We called ourselves Smileys. Instagram went wild in 2023, and suddenly, we grew big - like, really big. So, we got serious, built structure, started The Inclusion Movement. Now, every weekend, we’re at special schools, but we missed the old vibe, the art, the fun. Karmasthan came to life - a space in Bangalore where anyone can walk in, create, belong. Still all about the smiles, always.
My Work
Inclusive Festivals & Events - We run Tandav, an inclusive dance festival, and host events like Happy Festival and Satrangi Re for differently-abled kids.
Community Art Platforms - Our open mic nights like Voices In The Spotlight welcome stand-up, poetry, singing, and more, all for social causes.
Karmasthan - Volunteering Hub - Karmasthan in BTM Layout is our volunteering hub. Join eco-friendly workshops, sign language classes, or just drop in.
Weekend Volunteering at Special Schools - Every weekend, our crew volunteers at 25+ special schools, bringing dance and joy to kids with disabilities.
