Nataranjan Bohidar has 40 years of teaching, training &
transformational expertise. His interests are socio-cultural symbiogenesis
& citizen positioning - both peculiar to his unique creativity. Having
spent long years practicing the arcane art of media branding, his overarching
ambition is to position India as a democracy within a continuum where cinema is
a key substrate.
In a career spanning four decades, Nataranjan Bohidar has been
intimately associated with cinema, theatre, teaching, brand building, mass
communications, corporate visioning and
strategy.
He has held key integrated marketing and management positions with
reputed companies like Nestle India and The Times of India Group (Bennett,
Coleman & Company). In addition to being a theatre director and co-founder
of theatre group Chorus, he has critically appraised live performances and
books, writings, documentaries on World Cinema, Global Theatre & Indian
Folk, Music particularly jazz, Dance classical modern fusion and Indo-English
literature. His commentary and interpretations are imbued with the spirit of
juxtapositioning William Shakespeare and Henrik Ibsen, not necessarily in that
order, for their socio-cultural
influence in the colonial, post-colonial and neo-colonial world. Further
to successfully implementing Theatre-in-Education and Newspaper-in-Education
programs as non-formal education techniques within the formal set-up, he
experiments from time to time with ‘Theatre in Management Education' for
business studies, entrepreneurship regeneration and skills alignment.
He is the founder of several film societies for students and
business executives such as Cinemac & Cine-Action having started young in
the national cine-appreciation movement to create a discerning cine-audience as
Vice President of Delhi University film society, Celluloid. He was at the same
time President of "The Players", the Kirorimal College Dram-soc,
which his senior of many years, the one and only AB, had failed to theatrically
impress! Nataranjan has since picked, trained and is periodically in touch with
select serious talent that today do Bollywood proud by rejigging the juggernaut
to 'role' better. The pun, says Nataranjan, is intended!
Leveraging his wide & rich international experience is
Nataranjan's current depth-involvement with Wealth Management - a multi-layered
and profitable talent that has curiously gone missing in Indian cinema. In this
he designates himself as Particle Accelerator, to appreciate which term you must write to him:

Or both.
Imagine Degas,in Australia! Le ballet mondial or Le Globallet?
