About Abhinayपथ
A Professional Home for Theatre Practice & Technical Craft
Who We Are
Abhinayपथ is a platform built to give theatre practitioners — actors and technical professionals — a credible, structured professional presence in an ecosystem where networking and opportunities are scattered across informal channels like WhatsApp and social media.
We help serious theatre artists and backstage professionals showcase their work, training, and practice in one place so that visibility, collaboration, and career pathways become real, not accidental.
Founder Story
Abhinayपथ was created by Tushar Upadhyay, a theatre practitioner and technologist who experienced firsthand how difficult it is for theatre artists and technicians to build meaningful visibility beyond their immediate circles. Tushar saw colleagues struggle with lost messages, inconsistent portfolio links, and unclear pathways for training or collaboration — and decided to build a better system from within the community.
Ecosystem Conversations
Abhinayपथ continues to be informed by deep conversations with senior theatre practitioners, educators, and designers. These engagements help shape the platform's focus toward depth, craft, and long-term relevance in the theatre ecosystem.
