About Prashant: Founder of Jai Ho! Dance Party & Bollywood Dreams Entertainment, Prashant is an engineer turned entertainer with a story of transformation straight out a Bollywood movie. In his TEDx talk, Prashant shared his journey of growing up in a lower-middle-class family in Mumbai, coming to the U.S. for a PhD at Cornell University, working at Intel for several years, and leaving all that behind to rediscover himself as a full-time entertainer. He has been bringing India’s vibrant and festive culture to the U.S. since 2009.
Prashant has worked relentlessly to foster communities in various small towns and big cities across the U.S. centered around a shared love for cultural music and dance. His programs are so inclusive and engaging that even the most unassuming folk cannot help but join the fun.
The reputation of consistently delivering world-class entertainment deeply rooted in the spirit of joyous celebration has seen him being brought back repeatedly to perform at festivals such as Oregon Country Fair, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Salem World Beat Festival, Beaverton Night Market, Portland Night Market, and more. In addition to organizing dance parties in as many as eight cities across the U.S. regularly, Prashant has also helped bring diversity to city-wide programs within Portland with Sunday Parkways, Summer FREE for all movies, City Parks, and sessions at the Multnomah Library.
During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, Prashant curated highly interactive virtual events that provided much needed pure joy vibes in a safe manner.
