“Rituparna comes with a strong background in journalism, where storytelling was at the heart of everything she did. With her passion for storytelling, coupled with her strong writing skills and a nose for digging out stories, I knew we had found the right “storyteller” to help HCL Tech with our story telling efforts! At HCL “Ideapreneurship” is the bedrock of the organization. We thrive on our employee success stories and it is these stories that make HCL what it is. We wanted to celebrate the stories at the organisational level, but the hurdle was how to tell them effectively without sounding preachy! We were looking for someone to draw out the stories at the grass-root level and help us polish and package them effectively. And so began a 3 month long journey of interviewing 100 HCL employees spread across the world. Rituparna wrote us the draft of the stories that have now been further polished and put together in a graphic novel. She has also written us succinct video scripts that are being put together as Video Stories. Her work for us has resulted in capability building of HCL’s marketing team on storytelling and a very successful pilot which gives us the confidence to further our story telling initiatives. I would strongly recommend Rituparna as a trusted business partner.”

Your Story Bag helped Save the Children give shape to a unique idea amidst a pandemic situation. The 6 part video series has now become a national module to engage with potential child champions and youth advocates across India. With YSB, we were quickly able to adapt the communications for online and wider consumption. We’re very excited to work with them again as the Dream Accelerator initiative develops further.

For Ritu, reinventing, reimagining and thinking out of the box is second nature. So, engaging with her when Ahvaan Trust for education was working on SCERT Delhi’s Pre-Primary curriculum was an obvious choice. The curriculum for Nursery and Kindergarten needed creative stories that could integrate different concepts – like a story to teach letters that had elements of Maths included in it. She also created original phonic stories in English and Hindi. Ritu also trained the Ahvaan mentors who conducted sessions with government school teachers. From Ritu, the Ahvaan team learnt the art of creating stories, telling stories, bringing stories alive and ensuring there’s a generous amount of energy to keep the audience hooked!

Forever willing to extend herself, Ritu also got involved with the entrepreneurship curriculum that the Delhi government designed for classes 11 and 12.

A wonderful storyteller who keeps the audience spellbound. We had the opportunity to work on a project that involved recording textbook lessons being read out. Her approach was very professional, and the recordings reflected her skills and dedication.

TICKLE YOUR STORY BONES
Rituparna, I'm very happy to meet with a mentor who truly believes and advocates self growth and self expression.
Many other courses which one does on social media, have written out templates and standard formula to use, to become instantly successful
(And participants are thrilled to receive such a hand me downs)
Thank you for being different and believing in the power of each individual to be unique and find meaning and success in their own ways after understanding the framework.

Loved the way you gave an introduction to the course. It has motivated me to continue. BTW, you have a lovely voice and an expressive face which I suppose are prerequisite to storytelling.

"The story telling wove magic through the day. You effortlessly caried us from one emotion to the other connecting hearts and sparking minds with the interludes, reflections and questions.
Your presence felt natural, like you were one of us. Their versions were familiar, our objectives were clear, your research thorough and writing simple and straight.
Its a first that I have leaned on a storyteller to anchor an event and have a niggling doubt that this could become a norm:)
Thank you and hope to work together again, soon.”

Fate led me to you in the most unexpected way – a hidden library in Nizamuddin, of all places! Proof that winding staircases and books often lead to unexpected joys.
On behalf of the team, I say that we were so lucky to have our paths cross again at exactly the right time, at Titan. Thank you for being such a pure joy to work with, both on and off the stage. Your professionalism, flexibility, experience and ease truly shone through and put us all at ease. The team was thrilled to place their trust in your hands, and you did not disappoint! Wishing you all the best, and I have no doubt we'll have the chance to collaborate again soon.
