Co founder
Sarab has been a student of music since early childhood. He is a Tabla player under the direction of Pandit Sanju Sahai. Influenced by the impact Sri Satguru Jagjit Singh ji made on the Hindustani Sangeet (Indian Classical music) scene, he devoted himself to the idea of taking ancient arts and bringing them to a contemporary setting.
At Kaashi Arts, Sarab plays the role of the facilitator in this process. He also keeps a keen eye on digital content, project origination & curation.
