Dr. Priyanka Bharde wears two seemingly disparate hats with equal grace.

- VENNAPUSALA RAMYA

Dr. Priyanka Bharde wears two seemingly disparate hats with equal grace. By day, she's a senior system architect designing complex software systems. And by night, a Doordarshan-graded Kuchipudi dancer who breathes life into age-old myths through movement.

As the founder of Sri Hiranmayi Nrithyalay, she mentors over 500 students across three centres, nurturing their technical discipline with the same rigour she applies to her code.

Her acclaimed research on the 'Science & Spirituality of Shiva Tattva' infuses her choreography with philosophical resonance, elevating each performance into a moving meditation.

Honours such as Nrithya Vilasini, Nrithya Kala Sampoorna, and a gold medal in MA Dance testify to her commitment and, most recently, she was named a recipient of the Parnasala Youth Excellence Awards 2025.

In a conversation with CE, Dr. Priyanka reflects on her journey, her inspirations, and the delicate balance between passion and profession.

What sparked your early love for Kuchipudi?
