Srajan the spark - Vision
The Indian music industry is often criticized by many for not promoting Indian classical art forms and rather getting “influenced” by Western culture. In a bid to “revive” national own musical forms, we are set on a small mission to come up with events that will take viewers on a soulful journey of famous artists and also uplift hidden talents, motivating them with awards. We are really trying to revive our heritage and bring Indian classical into the front.
