No fluff, only real talk
I have lived through the same grind most of us know too well — rejections, burnout, the pressure to prove myself, and those endless nights of questioning if I am even good enough. I started Mahasvana not because I have the perfect answers, but because I have tried things, failed at many, and found a few that actually help. This is my way of sharing those experiments — real, raw, and relatable — so we can navigate the mess together.

Decoding "Mahasvana" (Great Sound)
‘Svana’ means sound — not just random noise, but sound that sparks meaning and energy. I called this venture Mahasvana because I’ve always been fascinated by how a voice, a word, or even a simple beat can change how we feel. For centuries, knowledge has been passed through sound — and I wanted to carry that forward in my own way. Mahasvana is about using voice and expression to create shifts that you don’t just hear, but actually feel.
About Soundarya Lahari Vedula
My journey has never been straightforward. I studied corporate law at NLIU Bhopal, won medals, built a path in international business, and later did my Master’s at UNSW in Australia. At the same time, I was traveling and performing globally as a Kuchipudi dancer — two worlds that couldn’t have been more different.
From courtrooms to stage lights, from boardrooms to long nights of self-doubt, I kept taking unconventional turns, chasing both passion and pressure. On the outside, it looked impressive. On the inside, I was constantly learning how to deal with uncertainty, burnout, and the feeling of never being ‘enough.’
That’s why Mahasvana exists. It’s not about me having all the answers — I don’t. It’s about sharing the real experiments, the messy failures, and the small shifts that kept me moving. Mahasvana is for anyone navigating an unconventional path, trying to balance expectations with dreams. Because that’s the life I’ve lived — and still live.
