Neelima Penumarthy

Director, Puranas

Neelima has a simple motto – “Connecting Cultures” through stories.

Puranas’ audiobook “Ramayana : An Ancient Indian Epic”, written and narrated by her teenage sons, Shreyas Pulle and Ayur Pulle featured in The Times, UK as one of the “Top 10 audiobooks of 2017”.

Neelima and her team created a stunning puppet show which was a big hit at the Mayor of London’s iconic Diwali in Trafalgar Square celebrations in 2018 & 2019. 

Puranas now presents a digital puppet show to enthral young and old! Available in English, Hindi, Gujarati, French, German and Spanish, this 15-minute show is a must-see for Diwali 2020!
