Creativity, Courage
and Unshakeable Faith
My name is Anuja Bidawe, and my journey has always been guided by creativity, courage, and faith. I completed my Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) and later pursued my Master's in Fashion Design from INIFD, Koregaon Park, affiliated with Annamalai University, Chennai. But my real journey began much before my degrees — it began with a dream.
In 2014, as a school student with big aspirations, I started designing clothes for myself. Slowly, friends, family, and neighbours began trusting me with their outfits. What started as a small creative expression became my identity. Each design built my confidence. Each appreciation strengthened my belief.
"I feel deeply fulfilled when I see someone grow because of something I created."
At the same time, my love for dance and stage never left me. Since 2015, I have been involved in choreography, and in 2023, I founded Nrityayushya Dance Classes — a space where passion meets discipline and expression meets growth. In May 2025, I founded my cotton clothing brand, KALA PADMAJA — built with the intention of offering comfort, elegance, and authenticity to women.
Beyond design and dance, I began organizing and managing sangeet functions, wedding décor, birthdays, anniversaries, retirement celebrations, mehendi and rangoli artistry, and even worked as a travel itinerary planner. From anchoring the Obsession Dance Studio Annual Show in 2022 to volunteering at an International Conference at S.M. Joshi College, Pune in 2017 — every experience shaped my communication, leadership, and confidence.
Over the years, I observed how many talented women and young entrepreneurs struggle for visibility, confidence, and opportunity. I saw passion without platform. Dreams without direction. That is when I made one of the most impactful decisions of my life — to create an exhibition platform alongside Vaishnavi. And so, Phulora – By TWE was born.
