My Story

Music’s always felt like home to me. My Aai holds the fort, and Chirag - my elder brother - is my guide, my best pal. Playing a sitar duet with him? Pure fun, totally different vibe. Gurupoornima brings back all the guru memories, big dreams. The sitar’s been in my family for ages, can’t imagine life without it. From Mumbai gigs to US tours, it’s the simple stuff, chilling with family after shows, that makes it all magic.

My Work

Sitarist, Composer & Teacher - I play sitar live (solo, with my band Urja), record sessions, and teach Indian classical music lessons.

Indian Classical & Meditative Raags - My heart’s in classical - morning riyaaz with soulful raags, and big moments like performing at Pt. Bhimsen Joshi Mahotsav.

Fusion & Bollywood Sitar Covers - With Urja, I blend genres, create originals, and love giving Bollywood or Kannada hits a sitar twist.

Collaborations & Sitar Duets - Playing with Chirag, jamming with friends on tabla and keys - music’s just better when shared.
