Kolkata's Rainbow Dance Troupe Wins IGT Golden Buzzer; Pune's Kineer Services Backs Transgender Artists

Ever thought a dance could change perceptions? Well, it just happened on India’s Got Talent, and honestly, it’s incredible. Kolkata’s very own Rainbow Dance Troupe, an amazing collective of transgender artists, didn’t just perform; they absolutely stunned everyone, snagging the Golden Buzzer on Season 11!

Yeah, you heard that right. This isn’t just another dance routine. It’s a powerful statement, a landmark moment for inclusion across the whole nation. Imagine 15 incredible transgender performers, all from Kolkata, taking to a national stage and owning it.

Their performance? Beyond breathtaking. They moved with such grace, themed entirely around Hindu goddesses. Think Durga, Kali, Narasimhi, and Vinayaki. It wasn’t just a portrayal; it was a celebration of the divine feminine. A force of creation, strength, and pure compassion, right there on your screen.

An anonymous artist from the troupe put it best. They said performing as these goddesses felt like invoking their inherent power. It made the world see them as “divine,” not just “different.” That’s powerful, isn’t it?

More Than Just a Performance

But how did this incredible feat come to be? Well, there’s a vital piece to this story: Pune-based Kineer Services Private Limited. Founded by Dr. Manish Jain, Kineer didn’t just cheer them on; they provided comprehensive support.

We’re talking everything. From their travel to intensive training, gorgeous costumes, professional make-up, and comfortable accommodation. Kineer made sure these artists could truly shine. They believe in giving dignity through livelihood, not charity, for the transgender community. And honestly, that’s exactly what they did here.

Look, Kineer Services isn’t new to this. Their “Trans-formation Program” has already trained and placed over 1,200 transgender and LGBTQ+ individuals. So, this Golden Buzzer moment? It’s a huge win for their mission too, showing what focused support can achieve.

This win isn’t just for the Rainbow Dance Troupe. It’s a massive step forward for representation and resilience for the entire transgender community in India. You’re seeing genuine transformation, not just on stage, but in societal views.

The YouTube video of their “Maa Durga Tandav” performance hit the internet on October 5, 2025. And by October 6th and 7th, 2025, The Indian Express was already detailing their incredible win and Kineer Services’ crucial involvement. So, yeah, the news spread fast!

It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? What other incredible talent is out there, just waiting for a chance, waiting for support like this? How many more barriers can we break together?
