Entrepreneur Hunt 
Boisar, June 2025 — The Institute of Indian Arts (IOIA) continues to raise the bar for classical dance excellence in India. In a moment of immense pride, Mayara Ojha, a talented student from the IOIA Boisar branch, and her team secured the Second Prize at a prestigious national-level competition where over 7,500 students from across the country participated.
The event was not just a competition—it was a celebration of India’s rich cultural tapestry. Amidst fierce competition and talent from every corner of India, the IOIA group stood out with their precision, grace, and passion, earning a well-deserved invitation to perform in Pattaya, Thailand, as cultural ambassadors of Indian classical arts.
This monumental achievement is a result of the relentless hard work and disciplined training by the entire IOIA team, under the visionary leadership of Pragnya Ma’am and Tej Sir, whose guidance has consistently shaped students into exceptional artists and individuals.
“Our goal has always been to nurture excellence—not only in performance but in character,” said Tej Sir, co-founder of IOIA. “This win is not just a trophy; it’s a testimony of dedication, late nights, rigorous rehearsals, and the burning desire to represent Indian classical dance on the global stage.”
This is yet another feather in IOIA’s cap, joining a long list of state, national, and international accolades. The team is now preparing for their international performance in Thailand, where they will proudly showcase the elegance and power of Bharatanatyam.
The IOIA family extends heartfelt gratitude to all gurus, students, parents, and supporters who made this journey possible. With continued blessings and passion, IOIA marches forward—carrying the flame of Indian art across borders.
