With more than 15 years of corporate experience, a teaching career and wide-ranging community involvement, her journey reflects perseverance, compassion and a deep commitment to meaningful contribution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Born and brought up in Bellary, Bindu completed her schooling at St. Philomena\u2019s High School and Good Shepherd Convent before pursuing her higher education in Bengaluru. She holds a B.Com degree with Finance specialisation from Seshadripuram College and a B.Ed from Anupama College. She is currently pursuing her M.Ed while working as a part-time teacher.<\/p>\n<h3>From Corporate Professional to Dedicated Educator<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Bindu began her professional career at Integrated Enterprises, Malleswaram, and subsequently worked with organisations including Tata AIG, Cholamandalam, IL&amp;FS, ODC, Val-Ed Initiatives and Oracle Education. Alongside her corporate career, she discovered a strong calling for education.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">She has worked as a value-education educator, teaching value-based stories to schoolchildren, and has taught Music, Computers, Social Studies and English in CBSE and ICSE schools. She also provides home tuition in English and Kannada and conducts online classes in Bhagavad Gita, Vishnu Sahasranama, slokas and Dasara Pada for children.<\/p>\n<h3>A Lifelong Bond with Music and Indian Culture<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Music has been an integral part of Bindu\u2019s life since childhood. She began learning classical music at the age of five and gave her first stage performance at Raghava Kala Mandir in Bellary. She trained under Guru Smt. Sundaramma and Radhakrishna for 13 years and continues to learn Bhavageethe and light music in Bengaluru.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">She also learnt Kuchipudi under Guru Jilani Bhasha. Her performances have taken her to venues and cultural platforms including Vasavi temples, Kukke Subramanya, the Golden Temple in Vellore, Thiruvaiyaru Thyagaraja Aradhana, Hampi Utsav and numerous official, devotional and cultural programmes. She has sung invocation songs at more than 100 programmes and remains actively associated with music and cultural groups.<\/p>\n<h3>Healthy Living, Community Service and Compassion<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A passionate advocate of healthy living, Bindu promotes nutritious cooking and encourages people in her circle to adopt healthier food choices, including cold-pressed oils, millets and Maida-free and palm-oil-free food. Her love for traditional South Indian cuisine, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra delicacies, complements her commitment to healthy cooking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Her social engagement extends across several community initiatives. She is associated with Vasavi Mahila Mandali, Malleswaram Association, MSIF, Swaramele, Vasavi Gana Manjari and other cultural and service teams. She volunteers for Malleswaram Elders Meet, plastic-free initiatives, Cycle Day, Hasiru Sant, Raste Habba, Bombe Habba and national festivals.<\/p>\n<h3>Service Rooted in Compassion and Inclusion<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Bindu has served as a cultural programme coordinator and volunteer in schools and participates in ISKCON Fest activities as a judge for music, dance, Krishna costume, cooking, Bhagavad Gita and sloka competitions. She also volunteers as a scribe for blind students and contributes to initiatives such as Kadumalleshwara\u2019s efforts to promote a cleaner and greener Malleswaram.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">For Bindu, social service is not merely an activity but a source of deep fulfilment. Her aspirations include teaching underprivileged children, planting trees and feeding the hungry. Her journey demonstrates that meaningful social change can emerge from consistent acts of kindness, knowledge-sharing and community participation.<\/p>\n<p>A professional, educator, cultural enthusiast, homemaker, mother and committed volunteer, Bindu Madhavi Kandula\u2019s life reflects the many dimensions of the <strong>Dashabhuja spirit<\/strong>: learning, nurturing, serving, creating, balancing responsibilities and inspiring others while continuing to grow herself.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-13844\" src=\"https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Bindu-Madhavi-Award-Payel-2-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Bindu-Madhavi-Award-Payel-2-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Bindu-Madhavi-Award-Payel-2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Bindu-Madhavi-Award-Payel-2-768x959.jpg 768w, https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Bindu-Madhavi-Award-Payel-2.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_13842\" class=\"pvc_stats total_only  \" data-element-id=\"13842\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/indianow.me\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Corporate Leadership to Community Service: Bindu Madhavi Kandula\u2019s Inspiring Journey of Purpose and Compassion Balancing Career, Family, Education and Social Responsibility Nominated for the Abhaya Dasabhuja Award 2026, Bindu Madhavi Kandula represents the spirit of a woman who has continually balanced professional responsibilities, family life, education, culture and service to society.
