Pune: Gera Developments Pvt. Ltd.

The special event, “Meet the Icon,” saw enthusiastic participation from residents and guests of Gera’s ChildCentric® Homes. During the program, Shiamak Davar interacted with families and conducted a lively dance session with parents and children.

On the occasion, Mr. Kumar Gera, Chairman of Gera Developments, said:

For the past decade, our team has been consistently engaging with parents and children in this direction. With the support of experts like Shiamak Davar, we are creating an environment that enables children to experiment, explore, and build their own identity.”

“My association with Gera’s ChildCentric® Homes is truly special because it brings world-class training in performing arts and dance right to families’ doorsteps. My advice to parents is to encourage their children to pursue their passions—be it dance, music, or sports. Every child can shine when nurtured in the right environment with proper guidance.”

A highlight of the evening was the candid “Fireside Chat” between Kumar Gera and Shiamak Davar. The conversation focused on the importance of collaboration in guiding children’s talents, the need for creative environments, and the inspiration to overcome challenges.
