A wonderful Platform to connect and Collaborate, 😃

‘Let’s grow together’ has been Mayaakatha’s motto. And Meera & her team have been living by this philosophy since Mayaakatha’s inception. I had the privilege of recording a couple of videos for Mayaakatha’s YouTube channel few years ago which even today seems to garner a lot of views! Best wishes , always!

Meera is a hardcore professional with a soft personal tenderness..The best about her she not only always invites new ideas but translate that into a real event thus promoting the resource person and the craft...She encourages, motivates and inspires so that you can churn within your mind and present the best..love you meera and more power to maayakatha..

Every session helped me gain new knowledge, skills, and practical learning experiences. This internship improved my confidence, communication, and understanding of concepts.

I recently explored Mayaakatha — it is a beautifully built learning community that connects emotions, communication, creativity, and growth. What stands out most about Mayaakatha is how inclusively the programs are designed for all age groups. Their workshops and programs are well planned which helps people to express themselves with confidence. The founder, Meera is truly inspiring. Her journey of building a storytelling and mentoring community reflects courage, passion, and purpose. What makes her special is her humble and warm nature that instantly makes people feel comfortable and heard. I m lucky to meet her getting trained from her community. One of the most valuable experiences for me was the 15-day internship program. Within a short duration, the program covered a wide range of topics related to storytelling, blogging, characterization, listening, poetry, reviews, AI, personal branding, podcasting, NLP. Every mentor brought unique insights, practical learning, and interactive activities that encouraged reflection and creativity. The sessions never felt overwhelming; instead, they created a safe and inspiring space for learning and self-expression. Mayaakatha truly lives up to its belief that stories can connect people, heal emotions, build confidence. It is a wonderful initiative for anyone who wants to learn, grow, express themselves better.

I enrolled in the sessions based on my friend’s suggestion. As I am pursuing my MA in English online, I felt these sessions would help me develop the skills required for story writing. I have always loved listening to, reading, telling, and writing stories. The journey of Mayakatha was truly magical. The sessions were meticulously planned and executed. Learning that all this effort was put together by a group of young people made it even more special. A big applause to Shasmitha, Maya, Srikar, Thattva, and Devanshi for their wonderful work. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Meera for grooming these youngsters and making Mayakatha such an interesting and informative experience. The sessions were very well planned and thoughtfully executed. I would also like to thank all the mentors who shared their knowledge and time, making every session engaging and enriching. As I listened to the sessions, my 9-year-old son, Jodhir, who is naturally curious, would often linger around wanting to know, “What is Amma listening to?” By the end of the fifth session, he had become a passive participant in the cohort and would eagerly ask when Meera aunty’s next session would be. By the end of the program, he had become an active participant in the cohortlistening carefully, learning naturally, and thoroughly enjoying every session. Learning about the power of storytellingthe what, how, where, and the many ifs and buts of storytelling and digital platforms was extremely interesting. The sessions were engaging and captivating, attracting both young and older participants alike in the cohort. Once again, thank you to the entire team, all the mentors, and especially Meera. Jo is eagerly waiting for more sessions from Meera aunty.

It was a beautiful learning experience. Each and every session was beautiful and strategically curated which made it convenient for everyone across all age groups. The best part about the session was it was mainly managed by gen- z. But not for a moment youngsters made us feel like we are managed by kids. The trainers were wonderful who took out time from their own busy schedules to train us. Last but not the least thank you Meera for this internship I definitely learned alot and I am genuinely looking forward to more such interesting sessions

I know Meera Barath, founder of Maayakatha, as a someone, who through her platform, encourages writing independent thinking. Mayaakatha's story platform Let's Make Stories Dino conducts story/ poem contests every week. Mayaakatha focusses on publishing anthologies , encouraging book authors and mainly in conducting workshops and internships for students, in important topics like NLP, storytelling, writing, poetry creation, film and story reviews. Experts from various fields mentor these students and thanks to Meera, it's a very safe and secure platform to be in.

Mayakatha is a platform which guides people to become a good storyteller. I recently joined as an intern for a storytelling program. I joined with some curiosity and an urge to learn something new. Storytelling aspect drew me in. But before the program started I was totally unaware and not so sure what would I gain out of this. But now I can say the time I invested as compared to the output I received is much much bigger. This added totally a new perspective to my thought process, and gave me courage to pursue my dreams.I would proudly say I have started a new venture also after attending this program. The best part of this program was they touched multiple facets of storytelling and each of them being guided by a different mentor. Thanks to all the wonderful mentors for sharing their knowledge with us. Thank you so much Mayaakatha team for making me a part of this cohort and thank you for creating a safe space for me.❤️

Maayakatha is so much more than a learning platform; it is a vibrant, soul-stirring community. This space is a rare environment where mentors bridge everyday life with deep, meaningful lessons in a safe and supportive way. ​Through this internship, my daughter has been fully immersed in the world of Storytelling, Writing, Podcasting, and Communication. It has been a truly transformative experience, allowing her to engage with real, creative work alongside a dedicated "pool of writers." ​A huge thank you to Meera and Maya for introducing her to this journey. Meera is a brilliant mentor whose guidance has been deeply inspiring. For anyone looking to master communication in a meaningful way—this is the place!

This is an excellent platform to learn, share and grow. Anything and everything about Mayakatha is just amazing. I have heard their podcast, Kaapi and Conversation- it is insightful. I have been a part of the internship program since last year. Being a mentor helped me gain confidence to interact with present generation, gave me the much needed validation that my work is relevant for the present generation of college students as well. Attending sessions by other fellow mentors gave opportunity to learn from others and validate things that I do correct. The way Meera carries herself inspires, motivates, and gives hope to many other women who are on their respective journeys. Wishing more power to Mayakatha in future.

Mayaakatha has been always an amazing space for me. Meera with her Team Sasmitha Srikar and not to forget her daughter Mayaa just doing awesome work together. Thank you so much Meera and team 😊 Wish you all the best for all the upcoming ventures. 🙏🏻 Meera is a gem of a person.

I joined Meera's communication program thinking I just needed to "sound more confident" in meetings. What I got was much bigger than that. She doesn't hand you scripts or hacks, she helps you actually find your voice and trust it. I've stopped over-preparing for presentations and started just speaking like myself, and somehow that's landed better with my team than anything I used to rehearse. Meera is patient, sharp, and genuinely invested!

The Mayakatha Internship sessions over the span of two weeks was a gentle breeze of learning. A wave that swept over each and everyone of us, with fun activities, learning and knowledge sharing, making the entire experience a memorable one. I would lank to thank the mentors who brought in an amazing energy that connected with us, helping us interact and engage more, while learning. Each mentor made the session fun learning in their own way. Looking forward to many more experiences as such with mayakatha in the future.
