Who am I?
Haunted me since I was 4, searching for the answer made me different from other girls. Didn’t like the usual life much, looked something beyond that, believed in quality, trust and dedication. I wasn’t ready to be happy with usual life neither wanted to settle down with that! The idea of beyond made me leave home against everyone’s wishes.
A shy village girl with traditional upbringing without a mentor stepped in urban jungle where she didn’t know anyone. Today the woman is considered an Indian Influencer, Philanthropist, Socialite and a Yoga Guru!
That’s the beginning!
My Story
Early Days
Living in a village she walked four kilometres to school every day, and studied under the dim glow of kerosene lamps, as the village did not have electricity. To Nupur, learning the English language was a struggle. We would certainly not realise these hardships when we witness her flawlessly interview best in the class celebrities from all over the globe
The New Days
One of her first jobs was in a hospitality company based out of Kolkata. This in ways helped her find her footing, exposed her to a diverse world and gave her hope for a better future. Next in line for her was an opportunity with Mitsubishi, in the land of rising sun, Japan. This was turning point in her life, something that metamorphosed her into a new being.
Japan became Nupur’s second home. The rich and welcoming culture gave her a sense of belonging in the country. Nupur soon became very active in incorporating the Indian culture into the Japanese lives at the International Centre.
Nupur would often organise events to bridge the gap between India and Japan
Nupur’s efforts in representing India in Japan soon earned her the title of ‘Unofficial Ambassador of Japan’.
In 2015, the country encountered the Kumamoto earthquake, devastating a large area in Kyushu. The people were distressed as many lost their homes and livelihood.
“Japan changed my life, and I knew I had to give something back,” she says. “The country didn’t need money, but needed healing, and that was exactly what I could provide.”
Nupur began free yoga sessions and counselling en masse to help the grief-stricken crowds. Every session had a voluntary donation box into which anyone could contribute, all of which would be directed towards rehabilitation.

The birth of a future: HealTokyo and HealIndia
In 2018, she extended her efforts into her motherland through ‘HealIndia’, starting with the adoption of a school in Aligarh.
With the funds from HealTokyo, she renovated the school, which is now a place for with brightly coloured walls and happy faces. She provides the students with all the necessary stationery, books, and uniforms.
“I want to empower the youth,” Nupur says. “Even though many people think of financial empowerment, I make it a point to emphasise mental health and give them the confidence to realise their own potential.”
Nupur’s efforts were recognised by the United Nations, which appointed her to help many countries like Sri Lanka and Africa mentally recover from the devastating effect of floods.
Tewari’s efforts have been recognised by the United Nations, and the philanthropist has received recognition for her efforts from The Womanity Foundation by SBI, Global MICE, India Star Book of Records, and The Nargis Dutt Foundation, among many others.
To tide over these difficult times, Nupur offers free and paid online sessions for all those who are isolated within their homes. The money that is raised from these sessions will go directly to the PM-CARES fund.
Plans for the future
Nupur wants to introduce the Japanese way of learning in these schools, the roots of which lie in self-empowerment – from cleaning their rooms to polishing their shoes, training to be self-sufficient.
Another important mission that Nupur looks forward to is starting a healing session for prisoners, with the obvious fact that they must be going through a tough time as well. She has taken efforts through her own contacts, but in vain. She wants to go ahead with the plan on a larger scale.
The Nupur Tewari Show
The show has a part that is dedicated to highlighting women who fought odds and have come out of them successfully. The show also helps women in distress for reasons liked to government, people, relatives etc.
The Nupur Tewari People Show as a part of the main show focusses on musicians, defense personnel, celebrities, achievers and other people who may be source of inspiration to many
A Story That Became a Bridge - Connect India Japan
This is why I say India and Japan are not two separate worlds for me — they are two parts of my soul.India gave me birth. Japan raised me — with love, empathy, discipline, and care. One taught me resilience, the other taught me balance. One shaped my roots, the other helped my wings grow.
Everything I am today exists because these two nations shaped different parts of my life. And somewhere along the way, I realised my purpose was never meant to belong to just one place. My life’s calling is to bring India and Japan together — not only through culture, but through spirituality, business, diplomacy, healing, and human connection.
That is why I created Connect India Japan. Through Connect India Japan, I have built bridges where ideas, people, and values can freely flow between the two countries. It is more than an initiative or a platform — it is an emotion. An emotion felt by those who believe in the power of cultural exchange, mutual respect, and shared growth.
Connect India Japan carries my deepest dream — to see India and Japan not just as strategic partners, but as true friends. Friends who learn from each other, support each other, and rise together.
Every project we create, every event we host, every relationship we nurture brings me closer to a world I deeply believe in — a world where India and Japan stand side by side as shining examples of cross-cultural harmony, compassion, and shared prosperity.
And this…
This is only the beginning of the story.
