He wrote the song 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ9C07m9Mt0 (Stranded on the Streets)' in the movie Nala Damayanti starring Kamalahaasan and Madhavan. He's probably the second https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=120&v=UiXy9iEjbPE&feature=emb_logo (Indian artist to release an English album) under the HMV label. There is a lot to this man - he's an engineer with a masters degree in management. He's a passionate musician with good tastes - only because his choices happens to be mine too (!) His first career choice was to be a cricketeer until a mini bike put and end to that by giving him a shoulder injury. His fall back (no pun intended) was music and that took him down the path of several Indian and international companies like HMV, now known as The Gramophone Company of India, and then onto Sony Music where he was part of the start-up team. By forging a symbiotic relationship with AVM audio, he opened up the huge South Indian Market to Sony. He introduced the Sony Nad (naad=primordial sound) brand for classical and devotional music. He is now the Regional Business Head of the Muscat Media group, which is Oman's leading media group; better known for it's flagship brand, the Times of Oman. His books, https://www.amazon.com/Capillary-Effect-Other-Short-Stories-ebook/dp/B00E9QPERK (The Capillary Effect and other stories), and https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/46016753-i-duryodhana (I, Duryodhana) have been received well, world over.
