It started over a cup of tea under a neem tree near Kankaria Lake in Ahmedabad.
In 2013, a small group of friends gathered and had a simple idea: to organize something meaningful for their community. What began as Vrundavan Dandiya Raas — a few friends, a shared passion, and a belief in the power of togetherness — grew into something much larger. They organized Garba nights at the Sabarmati Riverfront, one of the first groups to do so, and the response was overwhelming.
By 2015, the group had evolved, and it was time for a proper identity. The name Anurodh — meaning a heartfelt request, a sincere appeal — was given to the brand by none other than Padma Shri Kavi Tushar Shukla, one of Gujarat's most celebrated poets. The tagline came naturally: At Your Request.
That name has guided everything since.
Over the past 10 years, Anurodh Events has grown from a community gathering into a full-fledged Gujarati cultural and media platform. We have organized over 100 shows and events across talk shows, theatre, musical evenings, cultural gatherings, garba nights, karaoke nights, housie games, cricket tournaments, and community programs.
We have produced 7+ original shows and 1 music video — all created with the intention of giving meaningful platforms to artists, thinkers, speakers, and storytellers from the Gujarati community.
Our original productions include:
Sangathe Sukh Sodhiye · Love You Zindagi · Dikri Naame Avsar · Life is Awesome Yara · Parenting nu Paper · Puchi Ne Thay Nahi Prem · Prem Taro Maro Ane Aapno
Each show was built around a theme that matters — relationships, parenting, mental health, identity, love, and what it means to live a good life.
"અનુરોધ" — it is a request, not a demand. It is an invitation, not a transaction.
That spirit runs through everything we do.
