A long time ago, I called New Zealand my home and fell in love with the landscape and kind-hearted people.
I’m deeply committed to celebrating the city’s vibrant multicultural tapestry. Through my events, I provide a platform for people from all backgrounds to share their cultures. Whether it’s a dazzling multicultural fashion show, a forum featuring migrant women’s inspirational journey, an art exhibition for talented newcomers, or interviews of those culinary recipes, I aim to bridge cultures and create opportunity and a sense of belonging in Auckland.
I also organise fun, themed events like Bollywood Party, Arabian Nights, African Safari, and ‘A World Affair’ events, where people from all cultures can connect over delicious fusion cuisine and celebrate together in a relaxed atmosphere.
Through this Inspirational Forum, we talked about obstacles and finding the ground in a new country with amazing women from different walks of life who chose New Zealand as home. More about Forum

It’s wonderful to connect with you here. As we become more aware of our mind-body-soul connection, we seek simple guidelines to understand holistic living. This involves mindful eating, daily mindfulness practices, and working on our manifestations. I was raised in an Ayurvedic holistic lifestyle and know how simplicity can create abundance for the soul and body. Let me help you change simple micro habits to create a soulful life.
With my passions for creativity, art, writing, coaching, and speaking, I’m excited to bring fresh and impressive ideas to your life. Let’s support our community together and bring the best out of them.

Thank you for organizing a fantastic Bollywood party for our work Xmas function. Your professionalism was evident from our first meeting. You were incredibly accommodating with costume fittings, and everyone looked amazing.
The entire evening was a blast

Thank you, Anju, We have the greatest memory of our mid-winter Christmas party. All the bling made everyone happy, and with the food and dancing it was a perfect winter night. The free costumes for the host idea are excellent. Next time I will dress in a pink sari.
Lots of love and best wishes.
Michelle & Rob Turner.
Midwinter Christmas Party
Had such fun last night dressed up in the most beautiful sari. I felt like a princess! If you’ve got a Bollywood-themed anything coming up, party, dance, etc. then call Anju Desai she is incredible and will sort you out a 10/10 experience!! Putting my normal clothes back on today makes me sad. So boring… Thank you
