Stuti loves a challenge.At twenty she was an investment banker on Wall Street but the job had lost its charm. A desire for growth led her back into the arms of her first love, the arts.Stuti booked the first television pilot she ever auditioned for and got the call an hour after moving to LA in 2019. What fun to sing directly to series lead Jane Levy in a prime-time NBC musical dramedy!She honed her improv chops simultaneously in the corporate and children's entertainment sectors. After booking the first self-tape she ever submitted, for a position as a princess performer in 2017, Stuti played a variety of beloved princesses for two years - from Belle to Barbie, Jasmine to Moana. Concurrently, she performed corporate role-plays for Facebook to train their managers on how to navigate the intricacies of interpersonal workplace dynamics. The sense of buoyancy and joy Stuti felt upon improvising vastly different characters for vastly different clients, from three-year olds to fifty-three year olds, cemented her conviction that she had found her calling in the performing arts.Stuti's first hand modeling client was Apple, for whom she did print work in 2015 to support Tim Cook's grand unveiling of the first-generation iPad Pro at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.A desire to create original work has led her to develop a 75-minute one-woman cabaret show titled 'Miss Mandala's Colors' in which she will explore human emotion through a prism of original songs and WWII era jazz. Stuti has also written an hour-long drama pilot, about a nurse in a psych ward, that she developed with a former nurse from a Bay Area psychiatric hospital.Stuti has traveled extensively from a young age, lived in four countries, attended Cornell and the LSE, learned to speak six languages and performed songs in seventeen languages. She has also had parallel careers in literary editing and various forms of consulting. From running through a landslide at 19,550 feet in the Tibetan Himalayas to feeling the rush of connection with a live audience while performing, Stuti lives for the thrill of discovering and sharing the universal truths that compel us to live, to love and to make the best of the gift we call life.
