About Private & Corporate Event Performances
What I Bring
Sitar isn’t just my instrument, it’s my way of connecting people. I call it 'Sitar for Mental Health' because, honestly, in this mad world, we all need a little healing. My performances mix ancient ragas and modern hits, all with a vibe that’s meant to help folks breathe easier and feel something real.
My Story
Music’s in my blood - my family’s legacy and my Guru, Pandit Ravi Shankar, are always with me. I’ve played on massive stages, from the White House to Burning Man, and for legends like the Ambani family. Still, every gig is personal. No L’s, only W’s.
For Your Event
- Weddings and private parties: I tailor the setlist, from soulful lofi Bollywood to sitar covers of pop anthems. Want the Titanic theme on sitar? Sure, why not.
- Corporate gatherings: Not just background music. I offer sitar meditation sessions for wellness events, blending breathwork with calming sounds to help your team actually chill out.
- Launches and galas: Indian classical fusion for corporate gatherings, jazz, and blues for that high-energy feel.
How It Works
Collab is key. We’ll shape the music to fit your event’s vibe. I play solo, in ensembles, or with my full fusion band - even electronic sets with my custom Rik-E-Sitar. Based in New York, but I play wherever the music takes me. Let’s make it epic.

My Story
I miss you, Guruji. Every note I play is a piece of your wisdom, and my family—my dad crafting sitars, my mom singing with me—is my backbone. My grandmother, she was all about deshbhakti (love for country). That’s in me, whether I’m jamming in Delhi or vibing in Nepal. My music is for the homeland, for the mitti (soil) I come from. Jai Hind.
My Work
Sitar for Mental Health Experience - I blend Indian classical with world music, using sitar for mental health and inner peace.
Immersive Concerts & Guided Meditation - My shows mix soulful ragas, guided meditation, and moments to reflect. It’s a healing space.
Indian Classical Fusion & Spiritual Roots - I fuse tradition with tech—think sitar covers of 'Zara Zara', Shiv Tandav Stotram, and deep spiritual ragas.
