Ever so often when we heard some fantastic traditional music, one or the other person would say... "All of this will be lost soon" ... there should be a way to make this survive. Some way to make it easily available to more people, to let people know and appreciate its mindblowing nuancess. Finally we decided that saying this is not enough, we need to get together, put our heads, resources and energies together and do something about it ourselves. A creative work is like a tree that has to be nurtured from the time its planted to the time it grows big and bears fruit. Much work, love and care goes into its sustained growth. Beat of India has been and is like that for us. In travelling to remote parts of the country, finding the surviving artistes, understanding their music and bringing it to a wider, global audiece, it is work that really has its roots in the soil, its trunk solidly towards the horizon and its shoots reaching up for the sky. The work that Beat of India has set out to do is limitless and unending. People from diverse backgrounds have contributed and brought to this their own expertise and continue to nurture it and make it grow.

Beat of India began in the year 2000 with the aim of popularising the traditional music of India.

Cartoons are his keenest interest- but he dabbles in all kinds of arts and dips his fingers into films, music and ads - apart from paint!
