The wonderchild within us
Partnerships
In my travels and work experiences in countries around the world, I was impressed by the Tata group's approach and the initial approach by Goldman Sachs in viewing their team as "Partners." I also love Infosys' "powered by intellect, driven by values- slogan." I drew my inspiration from all these to create a mutually beneficial team structure.
Our team members are not united as a team through employment and fixed salaries but are a team through shared values. They are independent representatives of their excellence and with a great team spirit. To search and find the right team member takes care of or ensures 50% job completion, in my experience, be it when I was in Infosys or College Cricket Team or now - Sarvah League.

Praniti as Sita
- Movie "Jai Sita"
Praniti won my heart with her affection and then with her skills in our very first meeting. She always keeps her warmth and love despite her significant achievements at the tender age of 14.
Praniti acted in 'Aruvi' as a child role of lead actress Aditi Balan in 2017. Praniti's debut as a playback singer was with D. Imman and in a Red Giant production. She sang "Pappara Pappa" for the movie Lakshmi in Tamil and Telugu. Several of her cover songs have gone viral. Praniti has a YouTube channel called Praniti, with over a million subscribers.
Praniti's mother, Priya, also is a singer who solely dedicates her time to developing Praniti and being the source of additional strength. Praveen, Praniti's father, is a one-man-army who wears multiple hats in his roles as Cinematographer, Director of Praniti's videos, Editor and whatnot. Above all, his love and commitment to developing his beloved child are felt in each of our meetings.
Priya and Praveen created a great foundation with their love and patient development of their daughter in the pursuit of excellence. And Praniti, with her incredible skills and passion, is continuing to build her career. Anyone who truly gets to know them will only be inspired to be a better version of their character and skills.
At Sarvah League, we are fortunate to have met them all and have Praniti feature in our first feature film - "Jai Sita," in the titular role. And we thank them for helping us build our foundation, being a young company of enthusiasts.
