Ms. Taylor H.

  • Taylor Hayes (August 2020 to April 2021).
  • classes were not assigned or taught other than basic administration due to delays in commencement of G2.
  • several other company’s non- dance work assigned by task, in general as wanted to watch few lessons and had dealt with older kids often. Participated in promo submissions (her own audition videos for g2) to promote g2 and that were circulated with team videos. Only because she was to offer one of the programs in g2 and at grace and grooves/g1, both. Team work-Delivered.
  • pre.establishment activities of g2 – Delivered.
  • Previous team/round 1 team of g2 was laid off, as is, because they were hired earlier than the timeline of contract had kicked in for g2 (it was instructed that please freeze the hiring as the venue-city-permits are delayed).
  • Ms. Taylor was our Fresh Grad Programs/university hire as a full paid staff w/work on your own hours – remote and local to arlington as needed for various local work by task or module-based projects (since available for part-time) assigned such as arrange the details, staff recruits, utilities, city logins. With full leadership to lead the brand under Hetal Joshi M/Hetal Nagaraj which was done successfully.
  • Company Training – IT- internship : Success : https://www.hetaln.com/leadership

  • Never had to baby sit for any other tasks. ALL other tasks fullfilled as expected.
  • Unable to handle venue related-legal formalities & on-site re-modling issues and that is understood which is normal as it is pertaining to pre.opening or permits. Ms. Tylor was given 3 months of freedom to lead all the brands with full pay by task of whatever hours available with no task assigned;lead the way you want, if she could.
  • It was very new to ms. taylor for all our activities as she had not known of all that we do (as those were in effect online and offline both since our online classes were ongoing) so she assisted in those months by task and hours that she could.
  • Resignation accepted, Got a new job too around same time and Moved Out to other City.

Proof that Ms. Taylor was not a partner and was hired from job site and also after Ms. Hetal selected Ms. Taylor, during a university gig, there was a mention of Ms. Taylor which assured Ms. Hetal that Ms. Taylor will be able to do as needed.

Rachita Umesh

  • Rachita Umesh(Feb 2020 to May 2020) : Freelance short-term batches, on-board trial period & Background check – cancelled as the batches rolled off due to low enrollments.
  • 2020 : one of our online instructor that was local to dfw and washington/virginia. legal status-student. we did abt 4 hours of classes and then all our classes were in-person and rachita had to move to india. once a while she chimes in to say hello. sweet kid!
  • launch was overall successful as after the launch, she offered online classes *on her own in dfw and with her own brand from India*.
  • since we had stopped online classes or our online classes were only for in-house students for existing students. once a while when a full time position for some job is open, rachita applies often if remote is possibility from india or from anywhere if she is on project. sweet kid!
  • for most of our work, we prefer local USA candidates with full legal status because of time zone and client follow-up, protocols or atleast those who stay in US for more than 6 months because of their existing travel jobs. Those who are not on legal status usually start their journey as volunteer programs at Texas All Star Talents. ***Fun facts: Rachita told Hetal Nagaraj Dance about her first launch of online brand w/first flyer that she designed. The picture on her first flyer was selected by Hetal Nagaraj Dance. Rachita invited Hetal Nagaraj Dance in her first online show as well. how sweet! #neverasourgrape

Saumya Bhardwaj Kaur (Saumya Bhardwaj)

Saumya Bhardwaj Kaur (Saumya Bhardwaj) : Asst. Leadership-Manager for 5 Brands : 1. Mirchi Dance Academy, 2. Texas All Star Talents, 3. Reachh Mediaa Since 2013, 4. Grace Effects, 5. G2 Dance Factory. March 2022-Sept 30 2022. Fired from all company work as volunteer, as intern or as any type of service provider.

Manager roles as in leadership roles are provided for Students, scholar paths or university prospects through volunteer programs. This is the only way in the company management. All the other paths are fairly longer and company hires trained professionally usually through job boards only. Company never welcomes anybody without proper background security and other background check!

Eligibility –VARIOUS Eligibility to Apply FOR ANY BRAND UNDER GRACE AND GROOVES BY HETAL NAGARAJ

Training programs are exclusively under Ms. Hetal and entire DFW knows about this. It is not a news that Ms. Hetal conducts these on her own, independently because of her own background – http://www.hetaln.com

  • Graduates – ALL of the BOLLYWOOD/CINEMA students of Hetal Nagaraj had graduated, or were Elites & were performers of Hetal Nagaraj and all brands of Grace And Grooves, and were winners of Bollywood competition before 2022 itself and that is before saumya joined the company. (as student program as aspiring college student and which she never applied and lied to company/hetalnagaraj).
  • 2021- Ms. Hetal had stopped taking new students for several locations in 2022 itself so that Ms. Hetal can do other projects and such activities. In some locations prior to 2019.
    • G2 was 100% passive with strict instructions to all choreographers and managers as well as leaderships to strictly make Ms. Hetal unavailable for lessons and this includes, those who call for Ms. Hetal own batches. #YES.
  • ALL the students were exclusively through company advertisement way before Ms. Hetal had saumya for anything, as part of Ms. hetal’s own program at Mirchi Dance Academy and under Grace And Grooves Corp.
    • Saumya did not bring any students that were hers to the company!
    • The rest in Irving too, were as well Ms. Hetal’s own students that Ms. Hetal gave if she could handle it, which she could not.
    • She was to use the Elites at UT-Arlington, Texas and the ones residing in Irving, Texas.
    • Not be in the class. Her visa does not permit her to conduct field work.
  • Saumya never attracted anything and did not bring any students either that was ever worth to either company and did not do anything rather ruined everybody’s life & with proof.
  • Elite Lines Responsibility – Saumya was only given NEW set of students to lead through Elite Lines, not to instruct.
    • Saumya was to use existing staff and other Elites. Staff had about 10 artists on board to be placed to batches, and under leadership as passive direction of Ms. Hetal.
    • Saumya did not have any other set of students of any other level as Ms. Hetal was not willing to come to Irving or in G2.
  • Not from Ms. Hetal’s background or institute—an external hire from google search and applied on her own to company.
  • Failed Auditions – Saumya was not elite and had failed auditions—read why..
    • A cousin of Pratap/Nritya Dance Academy, Richardon, Frisco, Texas (Pratap Singh), (Owner of Nritya Dance Academy – Pallavi Patel) reported for cybercrime, explaining everything in 2017 after repeated alerts not to do so.
    • They target businesses by spreading rumors and secretly placing people to cause harm.
  • NOT an Elite or Pre.Elite –
    • Saumya is not an elite or pre.elite of anything under any of our programs. Saumya’s daughter has not danced with anybody under company either. they both were however welcomed to do performance of any type since she is not quite a dancer and thus was not included in pre.elites or elites. This was at no cost while others usually pay to perform and no permission was granted to do it free.
    • Participated in three Reachh Mediaa programs without paying. Dances were widely disliked for inappropriate moves, which she refused to modify despite audience objections.
    • Saumya owes the company $3,000 in perks for opportunities others pay for. Her daughter never took her classes, as seen in studio videos and her own messages stating her daughter dislikes dancing or prefers contortion. This is as per all class videos that Ms. Hetal often monitors through security recordings in studio.
    • It is company’s generosity, all staff members are welcome to perform voluntarily; it’s never enforced.
    • Saumya was interested in enrolling her daughter in the Reachh Mediaa Artist Program for artist management. However, she was unable to proceed due to the mandatory fees. Additionally, her daughter did not meet the minimum age requirement of 13 years. We do not permit individuals below 13 to perform unless it is under their own responsibility. Saumya was aware of this!
    • Company cannot offer much in volunteer perks, as the program requires significant coordination and admin work, which justifies the fees. She was already provided perks at no cost, while others typically pay for them and any of them she did not earn those while others earn them.
    • Daughter performed 1min of work – without paying for it. People did not entertain performance and the fact that child was below 13 years was against the code of conduct.
  • Fees of the students – Nearly 10 Students fees at Arlington, Texas, USA location and one whole batch of young women (6 as per spread sheet {and 10 as per group she formed on whatsapp} that she created in companys’ account) were never received and enrollment documents or details of students are also missing. Thus Ms. Hetal is unable to proceed to this matter. This is considered as theft.
  • Elites Placements for internship batches were missing – Saumya was supposed to place Elites and supervise under Ms. Hetal and not do the field work. Her permit did not allow her to be in field and she was supposed to only supervise since her resume speaks about experience.
    • Instead she took batches herself while the Elites were awaiting their internships for various programs, some were NJHS and some were in UT Arlington Texas as students were enrolled back to back in every Elite Line. The location was planned accordingly so that the studio receives regular internships as well as leadership and direction under Ms. Hetal’s passive direction and also attract gigs for those interested in Elite Line Programs.
    • Some Elites pay for these internship programs to be Elite Line for various mentorships.
    • Instead, Saumya took batches herself and Ms. Hetal was never added to any groups until a class video was posted on facebook and Ms. Hetal questioned about every activity under company’s name without permission.
  • Business Visa Lapsed and did not inform which results in direct termination and lied about student visa application to join this program.
  • Failed to report any updates – 4000$ losses on paper(Irving location itself) – unsupervised until 5 to 8months in all trust, 3500$ losses on paper(Arlington location itself) – failed to report updates.
    • Saumya was first supervised in person after eight months due to ongoing conflicts with the venue and parent complaints, for which there was no record until a parent recorded activities in few classes.
    • Saumya instead blamed the company to parents for micromanaging. Saumya received repeated warnings from those above her and saumya ignored those.
    • This despite of 3rd month performance reports w/full access given to all brands, clients and vendors and internal paperworks to on-boarding and at 4th month, Ms. Hetal warned her about her actions and as well alerted her to keep up with her own student visa application for which she was in this program.
  • Other Loss – 8 months of services with 10,000$ LOST and 25% deliverables.
    • inability to lead or take action. inability to understand urgency of the matter and availability of existing-resources/expertise.
  • Complaints – There have been several complaints from Grace Effects Photography and Videography clients regarding issues with party photos, videos, and model shoots.
    • Despite repeated reminders, the mistakes have not been corrected.
    • Despite the repeated reminders, she continued to create email drafts to harm Elites accusations or take their credit of initiatives.
    • Ms Hetal did not understand why Saumya was trying to take the credit of tasks that were completed years before.
  • Absent in all important leadership tasks – pre/post events management/stocking/re-stocking inventories/props/arrangements/distribution for costumes/accessories/props, at any of the locations in-spite of several up-front scheduling arrangements on-work hours-for all the events that occured in those 8months!
    • These were her responsibilities as per her visa permissions.
    • Absent in Team Dances that are usually complimentary for all dancers as part of team involvement.
  • All Grace Effects and photography projects failed only because she refused to listen to Ms. Hetal or Ms. Jinal and saumya refused to correct or listen to clients requirement or Ms. hetal with a staggering loss of 1000s of $$$ + hours of Elites time.
    • Those were booked months ahead of time and were provided to her;infact, Saumya was allowed to check invoices too to see the requirements. Ms. Hetal had to do those all over again just to keep up with client relations which was other hours of work and the photo edits.
    • 5 Shoots were wasted. Redo means 6 hours of each, 60 hours. 6 hours of her own and 6 hours Ms. Hetal had to redo.
  • Anybody heard this arguement – Despite having 9-to-3 work hours, Saumya argued to start driving at 9 AM instead of being at work by 9 or 9:30, making work and client relations exhausting to handle. All mileage and applicable paid hours were reimbursed on time, yet issues persisted. Saumya did not do much to reimburse anyway as all the work was just derailed. Company owes money from Saumya!
  • Complaints from parents about code of conduct violations and irresponsibility with minors on commercial projects, including inability to manage groups/children which parents themselves complained.
  • Background Check Stalled because of complaints from 4th month of hiring. Got caught by staff stealing and repeated warnings to not mess with contracts or stock registers without permission. this got caught in icloud emails and chats that she had deliberately deleted as the other conversation was in other admin’s emails. Background check reports in December were delayed, and all dance experience was false; only 3 months of workshop attended. When got caught, admitted for it in email itself. Ms. Hetal offered her a chance to simply follow directions for a successful path, but she refused to listen which led to mess everywhere. By 4th month on repeated warnings, she refused to complete her IT trainings and that caused mess in logins. IT company internships as well FAILED. refuse to listen or learn. https://www.hetaln.com/leadership
  • Fees never received from several students – Fees of 10 students of adult women batch at irving is missing! That’s 2800$ separately from above damages! Theft. Feb 25th,23. Confirmed by sms as well that she received those but never submitted to company. We have come to know this that Arlington fees were not received either. We are unsure where else the company name was used and public has been extremely generous on reporting every details that they learned about company through Saumya.
  • Saumya failed in the specialties she claimed to have
    • She misrepresented her education and falsely claimed experience, leading to failure in assigned tasks. This caused significant setbacks and harm to the company and several elite projects.
    • Emails got caught in archives where she states taking the credits of other people in various chats. Ms. Hetal offered her several chances to correct her life.
    • This as well she admitted in email that she will follow but never followed;thus parents complained from 10th week itself.
  • More blunders are surfacing every other month! Please see this
  • Company’s official warning about ms. saumya bhardwaj kaur .
  • Saumya was reported to authorities for massive fraud and attempts to frame Elites and other staff. Traceability of her assigned gadgets revealed additional fraudulent transactions and activities when she did not acknowledge the invoices send to her email id and company waited for atleast 1 month. Several other reports are underway.
  • Deliberate danger to child / minor & use of child as a bait to talk about insurance – We have never encountered anyone willing to put their own child at risk for insurance money. She was trying to frame Ms. Hetal, other elites, staff members which all got caught in emails.
    • Her own personal emails were integrated in company’s email which she accidently might have replied from phone and the conversation was diverted to company emails.
    • Ms. Hetal had told her several times, this is not India and that she should be careful before she proposes those ideas.
    • Minors are not allowed means not allowed.
  • Saumya ignored customer feedback about avoiding reels, as neighbors offered them for free.
    • She also intentionally caused trouble by involving an elite, despite Ms. Hetal’s warnings that minors (her daughter) must be seated in designated areas and all waivers were signed to release the company or Ms. Hetal or any Elites or Staff from liability.
    • Ms. Hetal had repeatedly warned Saumya that we never do reels. All you see is usually the class videos that students take home for their practice or it’s production videos.
  • Saumya failed to perform as dancer too, as required, embarrassed the crew, and refused to remove inappropriate nightclub moves from her solos.
    • She mishandled social media accounts, resulting in four blocks, and has not provided the usernames and passwords for them. Ms Hetal was able to retrieve them all.
  • Saumya falsely claimed to prepare for university and thus was considered as prospect but made no effort on either application for student visa.
    • Months and grace period passed by. We do not apply student visa(s) for our own staff people which was conveyed clearly. Infact, Ms. Hetal had told her that she has made a mistake to come to USA on business visa because of type of issues she is facing.
    • The company cannot employ anyone in illegal status due to facility sensitivity and the need for valid ID. Misused and abused entire Texas All Star Volunteer Program and her actions caused monetary harm to company and elites’ work was compromised.
  • Extremely unprofessional behavior has been displayed by consistently seeking family members or elites’ involvement, despite repeated warnings from family, children, and Hetal.
    • The company has no connection to Hetal’s personal family.
    • Ms. Hetal is your boss, and the company operates under her leadership.
    • Company never had any other boss other than Ms. Hetal.
    • Elites do not take action without Ms. Hetal’s direction.
    • It is important to recognize that your boss is not your friend; professional boundaries must be respected at all times.
  • Misused the appointments assigned by the company and demonstrated incompetence in understanding which tasks generate higher revenue.
    • Gigs bring money to company while her interests were rather low. Several instances where she wanted to shoot reels while there were gigs awaiting that were not attended despite Ms. Hetal’s regular warnings and followup.
  • The only individual till date to be demoted every month, consistently refusing to follow client feedback or make necessary corrections. Additionally, she declined to delegate clerical tasks to lower-level staff, resulting in a significant backlog of work with higher monetary value.
    • Everybody fails to understand this awkward behavior of Saumya!
    • Why did you join training program if you were not willing to get trained.
    • sms screenshot.
    • Whole world knows around DFW that Ms. Hetal does not offer certain activities to certain visa status and Ms. Hetal is known for trainings programs!
  • If by any chance, if Saumya wants to come back or any of her affiliates or her daughter wants to join for anything, for any mentorship then an upfront 350,000$ of payable amount is required with the following conditions plus the applicable fees :
    • The damages caused by Saumya were a deliberate attempt to harm the company for the benefit of her connections with other companies, including her cousin Pratap/Nritya. In previous years, they have also harmed the company without seeking proper information (2017).
    • A payment of $350K upfront, or $150K x 2 with a contract within two months, must be paid in full.
    • Ms. Hetal will mentor her separately under standard non-labor hours, with her presence depending on the activity. Hetal’s name will not be involved in any transactions or the company.
    • Payments must be made to Ms. Hetal Nagaraj via cash or direct Zelle transfers, as we will not accept checks due to previous money laundering concerns.
    • These terms are set due to the difficulties Saumya has caused for everyone, making it painful for elites to succeed. The $350K will be used to recover company losses and damages caused by Saumya’s deliberate actions to harm the company and frame it, as well as its reputation in the competition.
    • Without these terms, Saumya Bhardwaj Kaur is prohibited from any involvement with the company or its activities.
    • Further damages of other venue rentals we have learned, 5000$ total not received, ms. Hetal had to pay for it as she used company name. The money was given to her to pass it onn to the venue owner in irving along with other 2500$ as per text message, but venue never received.
  • Background – Due to ongoing issues, Hetal ensured that as much information as possible about Saumya’s background was gathered.
    • Despite understanding basic protocols being universally taught in educational institutions worldwide, Saumya repeatedly failed to follow them.
    • Certain basics are everywhere all over the world. Additional issues surfaced through iCloud backup files and unrecognized transactions, leading to reverse traceability of her activities and the involvement of police reports.
    • Saumya’s actions have consistently harmed her own family, husband, and businesses, leaving permanent damage to their lives and careers.
    • Saumya did not bring any business to company instead ruined her own work/time/money and other elite’s work or tried to take their credit while these elites had already delivered all the work;there was nothing to take credit for.
  • Company’s Stock Registry – According to the stock inventory registry, cash and other inventory items are missing. List will be updated in form of documents, soon!
  • Forged Company Documents – A comprehensive list is prepared based on this as the new discovery reveals Saumya has forged company documents as well, one of which is her own contract. This too got caught in company emails.
    • Saumya tried to forge the documents of various Elites, which then locked the accounts as the access got denied.
    • Saumya tried to mess with Reachh Mediaa Accounts and International Artists Accounts, as well.
  • Company Gears –There are confusions of dates as well in several instances of company documents, gears and gadget which could possibly be a normal human error but with this type of deliberate mess, we are unsure which action from all of this is/was deliberate or which/is or was human err.
    • We are unsure where else the company gears were used, as many of Ms. Hetal’s emails mentioned them as “unavailable” for various gigs. However, according to the gear logs, they were available, and many staff had to use personal equipment.
    • To Ms. Hetal’s surprise, the gears were available during those dates/times. The issue arose when staff delivered their gigs, as the gears automatically uploaded or were paired to iclouds, but they still needed upload permissions.
    • Ms. Hetal questioned why permissions were required when all gears are linked to iCloud. That’s when Ms. hetal knew of these issues.
    • Company gear rentals without permission is chargeable by day.
  • Company releases its first official statement on this individual – https://youtu.be/TzBW5Q9qaD0?si=K71i20awy5tA7VmY
  • Caught in Company Assigned Emails & other staff emails – Much of the information was obtained from Saumya’s own emails, which were accidentally left open on the company laptop assigned to her. The company has full proof of all activities.
    • Saumya had also drafted emails targeting each Elite, intending to damage their lives.
    • Ms. Hetal downloaded all the relevant information and reported it to the police.
  • Additional reports are pending and will be completed in 2026 because some accounts were locked and were finally cracked in Jan 2025- and until the end of 2026-May because of data management. Prior reports were regularly reported as and when the accounts were unlocked, and information was retreived.
  • In June 2023, we learned that Grace And Grooves and Ms. Hetal herself is a victim of theft and unauthorized payments were made by Saumya totaling thousands of dollars. Anyone hiring her should monitor her actions closely.
  • Ms. Saumya has caused disgrace, legal issues, and safety concerns for the company, including compromising the safety of children on commercial gigs, including her own.
    • Due to her actions, Ms. Anula’s batches in Irving and the work of 10 other artists were affected.
  • Immigration Fraud to Ms. Hetal and to the company –
    • Saumya was not supposed to be in field or in class and was only to administer just as we had Swati and few others. It was told to her that until she moves her immigration status to student or any other, under this visa, certain activities are not permissible.
    • She did not use Elites that were awaiting those tasks and instead herself took the classes which eventually failed.
    • This is immigration fraud. The grace period passed by and there was no update on visa status or any application of student visa or university referrels like we usually have for other students.
    • Upon asking, Saumya laughed it out and did not update.
  • Out of Status – Saumya never informed Ms. Hetal about out of status during the time of her engagement with Texas All Star Brand, while the email was caught on console id as reply to all. Saumya was using company phone.
  • Open House of company’s hired staff payroll –
    • Mess in Open House arrangements at Irving and Arlington locations. This includes Anula’s Open House. Upon confusions of the batch’s open house, Ms. Hetal lost 15 Bharatnatyam students for Ms.Anula. The students were ready to directly enroll as those were Ms. Hetal’s own leads and just wanted an open house for some FAQ.
    • Vinish’s Open House Arrangements were deliberately messed with and delayed and by then Vinish had a family emergency.
    • Later in August, the open house was to be arranged for Digvijay’s son, Jinal Shah’s batches in Arlington along with proceeding Elite Lines, which never took place and right after in 2023, Ms. Hetal had to take care of it as Elite Lines pay for mentor classes to gain experience and advertisements as well.
  • Deleted Messages and Emails – This later got caught, wherein conversation about Nritya, conversations to parents and all the intentions were drafted, deleted and later got caught in ALL Mails, Trash as well as drives where she had deleted word files of various drafts.
  • Saumya conversations to her lawyer during out of status paperwork –
    • This got caught in company Emails as well —
    • Email conversation to immigration lawyer talked about Saumya complaining that Ms. Hetal is harassing her parents while Ms. Hetal was never in touch personally with her own parents.
    • Or her students’ parents’ either(if thats what she meant) as Ms. Hetal was not even added to groups until Ms. Hetal questioned the video on company’s name which was accidently posted to company’s account (Prob a human err).
    • One email draft was to frame Elite of harassing the parent.
    • Based on this admittance to her own lawyer, Ms. Hetal does not have any right to converse either to any parents as the fees are never received. The transaction or delivery is thus, not complete.
    • Ms Hetal conversed half way thinking its her own students or parents. And left the matter half way because of this email.
    • These emails and conversations were deleted from company’s emails and were trapped or caught in physical backups and were recovered.
    • Although as a courtesy, on June 1, 2026, Ms. Hetal replied to their complaint as a closure and made sure that their names do not have criminal record as saumya had plans on framing almost everybody.
  • What we could save – Hetal Joshi Nagaraj was fortunate to be present during several shoots, as she saved valuable time and captured several pictures using own phone, which were later converted to high resolution.
    • During these shoots, the sessions were abruptly halted due to Saumya’s refusal to adhere to the client’s requirements, as outlined in the submission, revealing that Saumya Bhardwaj was acting fraudulently.
    • Unfortunately, some shoots independently managed by Saumya could never be recovered and Elites had to suffer because of this individual’s action.
  • Thank you clients for reporting us the issues –
    • We sincerely thank our clients and customers for their patience, understanding, and maturity during this challenging situation. It was Ms. Hetal’s exceptional customer service and crisis management skills that ultimately saved the company from potential negative reviews, lawsuits, and other serious consequences that could have impacted the safety and well-being of teenagers and minors involved.
    • Ms. Hetal repeatedly advised her to fix her life under her supervision, but she refused to listen.
  • Leadership – Ms. Hetal is the sole individual with access to all the necessary information and is responsible for managing the company’s brands, activities, and routines and thus only Ms. Hetal knows how to get around it; especially given the chaos deliberately created by Saumya Bhardwaj Kaur.
  • It was the Ms. Hetal’s leadership that saved everybody.
  • Ms. Hetal cautions the public about Saumya Bhardwaj Kaur/Saumya Kaur due to her consistent criminal behavior and intent to cause harm, and which has caused harm and damage to minors, families, and herself.
    • This pattern originated in India and continued in the USA.
    • The issue came to light in a detailed report submitted to Hetal in September 2022, leading to Saumya’s immediate termination.
  • Ms. Hetal requested Resignation in all due regards with an immediate effect on Sept 30, 2022.

Company holds no responsibility of any illegal immigrant activities as company did not authorize Saumya to take those activities. Ms. Hetal had repeatedly asked her not to conduct those or arrange those for Elites and was asked to instead have Open House for Elites – University Students.

During Open House of Saumya as well, Ms. Hetal conducted the learning session about Open House Activities, not explicitly to take one but to lead and supervise as per own immigration permit. The parents and students were from the list of individuals who called long time before Saumya’s application itself. It was to be endorsed to those in charge of it. As per her visa permit, she can do internships, not do the field work.

Applauds to Ms. Hetal – As of December 21, 2023, the company remains in good standing due to the exceptional ability and contributions of Hetal Joshi Nagaraj, both as a team member and a leader.


From 2020 to 2023, the company faced two significant frauds: the first involving G2 Dance Factory’s landlord (amounting to $4.5 million) and the second involving Saumya (resulting in $350K plus other damages).

Both cases were instances of white-collar crime aimed at causing deliberate harm, and Ms. Hetal was instrumental in uncovering them.

Both issues are currently are expected to receive a closure. All of which got caught in iclouds itself because of exceptional IT infrastructure of company created by Ms. Hetal to ensure safety & traceability of everybody.

The only person till date to create such a mess in entire history of company is Saumya! Company infrastructure sits on intranet adminstrations and every activity is fully recorded.

10 year olds deliver under Ms. Hetal, it is not that hard to follow simple directions through various volunteer and NJHS programs. It was Ms. Hetal’s IT knowledge that saved not only her own family but Elites, Students’ sensitive data, Parent’s data and everybody whom she was trying to frame in emails. We are unsure what were Saumya’s further intentions.

Company provides laptop, phone, icloud, various subscriptions as well to run the operations as per visa permits and as per permits at the venue. ALL this was caught in company emails, icloud back ups, security cameras and company gadgets/gears.

Thus, company will consider Saumya’s entire mess or dispute as incomplete and awaits all the money for deliberate damages to Elites and Ms. Hetal’s personal finances as in theft.

Company Or Ms. Hetal did not conduct any fraud nor does company entertain one, with such a background, transparency and have delivered successful candidates throughout and she was next to be successful under Ms. Hetal until emails caught all the criminal activities. Oh well.
