KARTHIK CHARI

Karthik Chari has spent his career in corporate finance, helping companies navigate growth and change — but his interests go well beyond the professional world. He’s a longtime supporter and practitioner of the arts, and a believer in the role creativity plays in helping people connect, reflect, and heal.

Karthik’s connection to the Beatles has always been more than just an appreciation for their music — it’s an emotional connection that’s shaped his perspective and stayed with him throughout his life. That connection drew him to Theatre Within, whose work reflects many of the same values. Karthik joined the board in 2025 to support the organization’s growth and help share its meaningful vision with a wider audience.

He lives in New York City with his two rescue dogs and spends his time running, writing, and trying to keep life interesting
