1. VERSION :1

In 2016, renowned President and CEO of Ideal Group, Shaji Nada
formally announced two new promising projects—99 Songs and
LeMusk.
The movies, the tentative release dates for which have been this year,
comprise interesting aspects such as virtual reality and a blend of
sensory inputs. Both are produced by Nada’s Ideal Entertainment.
What is noteworthy about this philanthropist is that he works towards
achieving results, rather than seeking publicity. His vision reflects a
passion for creating capacity and bringing potential to those unable to
do so themselves.
At the same time in the Greater Toronto Area, Ideal Developments of
Ideal Group has been making a difference in Sri Lanka and here in the
GTA through their Build Haven initiative. With this initiative, for each
unit sold here in the GTA, part of the proceeds is used to construct a
home for an underprivileged displaced family.
Not only is Ideal Developments giving those who reside in
poverty-stricken communities a means to achieve a higher quality of
life, but they are also changing the lives of their volunteers by giving
them an opportunity to do meaningful work and attain an incredible
sense of purpose. Regarding the program, Nada has stated:
"The support of our clients has been a crucial element in ensuring that
we not only build sustainable communities locally, but that we realize
our dream of building them around the world."
2017 will see Nada’s charity work inspiring locally and abroad. As a
tribute to his vision, Ideal Group is creating Ideal Dreams, a

2. celebration of arts and culture with all proceeds going towards
philanthropic causes.
The concert will include more than 100 North American performers in
acts made up of song, dance, and musical theatre. Accompanying
fans at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto on February
4th will be a spectacular lineup of talent.
Nada has stated that:
"The show will be a real testament to creativity and inestimable
contributions to film and music. For years, art has encouraged
individuals all over the world not only to extend what is possible but to
redefine it. This is at the core of Ideal Entertainment's purpose and we
are privileged to be producing Ideal Dreams."
With so many lives across the globe already being affected by these
efforts, the potential for developing revolutionary and motivating
change appears limitless. With eyes on February 4th, there appears to
be a lot to be eager about in Shaji Nada’s leadership this year and in
years to come.

In 2016, Shaji Nada, distinguished President and CEO of Ideal Group,
announced two exciting projects under his production banner Ideal
Entertainment—99 Songs and LeMusk.​
These films, with planned release dates this year, promise to
captivate audiences by blending technology, creativity, and innovation
through immersive virtual reality and sensory storytelling.
Nada’s philosophy is clear: he focuses on creating tangible impact
rather than chasing publicity. His mission is deeply rooted in building
capacity, nurturing talent, and uplifting communities that lack access to
opportunities.
At the same time, Ideal Developments has been actively advancing its
Build Haven program in the Greater Toronto Area and Sri Lanka.
Through this initiative, the purchase of every local housing unit
contributes to constructing homes for displaced families in
underserved regions.
This not only elevates the quality of life for vulnerable families but also
enriches the experiences of volunteers by allowing them to engage in
purposeful service. Nada has stated:​
"Our clients’ support has been pivotal in ensuring that we can develop
sustainable communities here at home while also extending this vision
to the global stage." The year 2017 also marks the launch of Ideal Dreams, a cultural
extravaganza celebrating arts and creativity, with all proceeds
dedicated to philanthropic causes.
Set for February 4th at Toronto’s Sony Centre for the Performing Arts,
the production will showcase over 100 North American performers in

4. music, dance, and theatre, promising one of the most dynamic cultural
rosters assembled in recent years.
Nada remarked:​
"Ideal Dreams will honor the limitless influence of art and its power to
inspire change. Art challenges us to expand horizons and redefine
possibilities. This principle lies at the heart of Ideal Entertainment, and
we are honored to present this production."
With his initiatives already shaping lives across continents, Shaji
Nada’s leadership continues to chart a path of innovation,
compassion, and transformation. The momentum building toward
February signals only the beginning of greater accomplishments to
come.

5. VERSION :3
In 2016, visionary leader and President & CEO of Ideal Group, Shaji
Nada, introduced two pioneering ventures under Ideal
Entertainment—99 Songs and LeMusk. Both projects break
boundaries with immersive virtual reality and sensory-driven
storytelling, marking a bold step toward the future of global cinema.
Nada is not just a businessman—he is a philanthropist with a clear
mission: to create opportunities where they do not exist and to uplift
communities often overlooked. His drive is not for applause but for
meaningful outcomes that bring real change.
Through Build Haven, Ideal Developments has already touched lives
in both the Greater Toronto Area and Sri Lanka. For every home sold
locally, part of the proceeds builds safe, sustainable housing for
displaced families abroad. This initiative is transforming communities
and offering volunteers the chance to contribute to something bigger
than themselves. "The support of our clients has been the cornerstone of our efforts to
build sustainable communities both here and around the world," says
Nada.
In 2017, his philanthropic journey takes center stage with Ideal
Dreams, a grand cultural tribute to the arts. Set for February 4th at
Toronto’s Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, the event will feature
more than 100 North American performers in a breathtaking
celebration of music, dance, and theatre—with all proceeds supporting
charitable causes. "Art inspires us to dream beyond limits and redefine what is possible,"
Nada explains. "This vision is at the heart of Ideal Entertainment, and
Ideal Dreams is a proud expression of it."

virtual reality and sensory innovations, these productions highlight
Nada’s commitment to redefining entertainment.
But his influence extends far beyond the screen. At his core, Nada is a
philanthropist whose focus lies in creating capacity, empowering
communities, and driving meaningful results. His work through Build
Haven is a shining example: each housing unit sold in the Greater
Toronto Area contributes to building a safe home for a displaced family
in Sri Lanka. This initiative has a twofold impact—it uplifts families living in hardship
and empowers volunteers to experience the joy of purposeful service.
Nada himself says:​
"The generosity of our clients has been central to helping us build
communities here at home and across the globe."
To further his mission, 2017 brings the launch of Ideal Dreams, a
cultural spectacular designed to celebrate creativity while fueling
philanthropic goals. On February 4th, the Sony Centre for the

performers in a dazzling mix of song, dance, and theatre.

community," Nada shares. "It is proof that when creativity meets
compassion, extraordinary change is possible."

to inspire hope and set new standards of innovation. With projects that
