Bengaluru: Hema Namashivaya, an accomplished Assistant Professor, writer, and speaker, is steadily carving her path towards joining the ranks of legendary authors like J.K. Rowling, Arundhati Roy, and Jhumpa Lahiri. Drawing inspiration from these literary giants, Hema’s passion for literature, academia, and personal growth has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Hailing from the IT hub of Bengaluru, Hema’s journey has been diverse and inspiring.

Her move was driven by a deep-rooted passion for teaching, and her commitment to shaping young minds has earned her recognition as a teacher achiever, including the prestigious Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Award.

Beyond her academic role, Hema has ventured into multiple fields, from movie subtitling to TEDx speaking engagements at the institutional level. Her writing journey is as impressive as her academic career—co-authoring several anthologies, including Leaves of Autumn and Teri Mitti, and authoring her own works like Beyond Life and Life – Yet Another Chapter. She has not only captured the hearts of her readers but also earned multiple accolades, including being named Best Poet of the Year 2024 by the INKZOID Foundation.

As a certified soft skills trainer, she has mentored over 10,000 students across India, imparting critical skills for personal and professional growth. Her work also extends to writing articles for Twell Magazine Online, where she provides insights on various societal issues.

But Hema’s journey doesn’t stop there. Her foray into the fashion industry, where she secured titles like Mrs. India World Semi-finalist and Mrs. Karnataka Runner-up, adds a layer of glamour to her diverse profile. Her ability to balance a career in academia, literature, and fashion is a testament to her unwavering passion and commitment to her pursuits.
