Prabhakar Betnag is an art enthusiast who wants to popularize Indian Art and Culture that is so very diverse but still distinct. He wants to work together with artists and art lovers who believe that Indian Art and Culture has come along way, whose lineage can be traced back to the Vedas and Upanishads., Prabhakar feels “Indian culture is so much deep rooted into every Indian life style, it becomes so inseparable despite being thousands of miles away. It becomes even more important for every Indian away from his mother land to take responsibility of continuing this Parampara.” Prabhakar believes that one way of achieving this is by igniting passion for Indian Art and Culture by active participating and by making your sincere efforts in what ever way you can.

Prabhakar’s induction to Soorya Performing Arts brings diverse cultural background having worked in Singapore, Indonesia, Mexico, Venezuela, Detroit and of course India before coming to Saint Louis. On the professional front, Prabhakar has earned a MS in Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering from Wichita State Univ, a BS in Mechanical Engineering from BIT, Bangalore.

Prabhakar and his wife Kumuda both work in the IT field. They are enthusiastic about becoming part of a Cultural organization that is striving to make Art and Culture an integral part of Indian community in very many ways in this part of Mid-West America.
