Mixing
Glamour

Talking
about
this
event,
Srinivas
Ventrapragada,
chairman
of

"These
social
gatherings
are
much
cooler,
as
they
entertain

A
New
Concept
To
Hyderabad
Gopi
Garapati,
who
was
part
of
a
series
of
stand-up
comedy
acts,
says,
"Such
a
concept
is
very
new
to
Hyderabad.
The
usual
approach
of
NGOs
approaching
people
and
asking
for
donations
lacks
that
connect."
He
adds,
"But
thanks
to
this
concept,
people
get
their
money's
worth
because
they
have
a
good
time."
Guests'
Goodwill
Radhika,

Srikanth
Narayana
says,
"Only
a
select
group
of
people
who
belong
to
the
same
social
circle
attend
these
events.
So,
it's
a
great
place
to
be
for
networking."
