Our founding story
Livvie had organized about two hundred meetups in an eight months span after shifting base to Austin in 2016, the first incredible idea of having a “Bollywood Boat Party “ occurred when she tried to hire a decorator to organize her 40th Birthday party in 2021 at this local coffee shop in Pflugerville, TX called “West Coffee + Beer” (It's very lucky for her)
After Boat Party’s huge success with oversold tickets, one thing led to another and she ended up founding Livvie Star Company to bring people togther from different cultures, backgrounds & different walks of life in a more organized way. She also ended up founding a non-profit ASAFF in Jan 2021 while seeking help to fund a famous short movie filmmaker in India at the same coffee shop ( told ya, it’s lucky for her)

When I am not working I enjoy: hiking & camping with my family to connect deeply with Mother Nature, watching entertaining commercial films, and partying with friends.
