🌟 Hosting the Navynagar Diwali Mela — A Three-Year Journey of Energy, Culture & Community Magic (2022 • 2023 • 2024)
As a professional emcee and event anchor based in Mumbai, I have had the honour of hosting prestigious corporate shows, live award nights, lifestyle festivals and large cultural gatherings. But one event that holds a truly special place in my journey is the Navynagar Diwali Mela, an annual celebration attended by 1,000+ people across 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Hosting the mela for three consecutive years has been a powerful reminder of why I love anchoring — the energy, the connection, the smiles, and the incredible feeling of bringing a community together.
🎤 My Role as the Emcee — Bringing 3 Evenings to Life
Over 2022, 2023 and 2024, my role expanded beautifully:
1️⃣ 2022 – The Relaunch Year
After the pandemic years, the community needed hope, joy and togetherness.
I crafted the hosting script around gratitude, cultural roots and Diwali symbolism, introducing kids’ dance groups, women’s collective performances and the local music troupe.
This year taught me the power of warmth and emotional connection as an anchor.
2️⃣ 2023 – The Expansion Year
With growing attendance, I handled a larger stage, new technical cues, and an expanded entertainment lineup.
The energy of hosting for 1,000+ people was electric!
I introduced games, crowd interactions, lucky draws, and stage transitions between internal talent and external performers.
This year helped me merge professional stagecraft with community warmth.
3️⃣ 2024 – The Milestone Year
The biggest year yet — 1,200+ people, celebrity performers, laser lights, choreographed entries and a full-scale entertainment schedule.
As the host, I ensured:
- Smooth stage transitions
- Safety announcements
- Timing management
- Audience engagement
- Artist introductions
- Sponsor acknowledgements
This year reinforced why I’m trusted with high-pressure, high-scale cultural events.
