Masto Gaurav Srivastava

Masto, the founder of Bewajah, embarked on his journey fueled by over a decade of immersion in the realms of arts and theatre. Transitioning from a conventional career path as an engineer, he delved into the world of theatre and discovered his passion for writing, crafting numerous scripts, plays, and lyrics. Recognizing the profound impact of arts on personal growth, Masto envisioned utilising creative expression to curate meaningful experiences for young individuals.

Inspired by Gandhi's vision of empowered and self-reliant youth, Masto aspired to cultivate an inclusive and democratic space through diverse programs at Bewajah. His dedication to storytelling led him to serve as a visiting faculty for Storytelling at NIFT, Raebareli, where he imparts his knowledge and passion to aspiring storytellers. Additionally, he engages in storytelling sessions for adolescents, covering a wide array of subjects, further enriching their learning experiences.

Masto's journey embodies a fusion of creativity, advocacy, and mentorship, aimed at nurturing the next generation of socially conscious and empowered individuals. Through Bewajah and his storytelling endeavours, he continues to inspire and empower young minds, fostering a sense of self-discovery and community engagement through the transformative power of the arts.
