Ibaadat Foundation is a charitable Trust founded in 2012 by Mr. Haldea to provide poets their rightful place in the society. This is done through stage shows, which entirely focus on the literary and lyrical geniuses. In order to accomplish this, Ibaadat employs new and continuously evolving formats. Rather than the conventional style which has predominance of songs, interspersed with some comments/shers, Ibaadat makes its shows far more interesting and informative. 16 shows covering 4 poets have already been held in New Delhi, Mumbai Kolkata and Dubai.
