Rewati Karmarkar
Storytiki founder and storyteller, Rewati, believes in the power of storytelling and love for reading. She is also passionate about children’s education especially in their early years.
She has already conducted over 30 sessions across South Bangalore and Whitefield. She collaborates with apartment complexes, corporates, pre-schools and also conducts lively story sessions at birthday parties and other events.
Through Storytiki, Rewati encourages open-ended, process based art and craft as every story is followed by a related takeaway art or craft activity.

In any Storytiki event, one thing is always guaranteed-
A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!
