Deo Narain Mishra - Tabla In my personal views and experience on the series Antarnaad, It has been a wonderful experience playing for one of the most reputed organisations of music . Though live concerts are a trend these days, but Antarnaad was above that in many ways . The presentation was lag-free, the performance was presented in super good and premium quality which maintains the name of SAPTAK . Personally I am overwhelmed with the generosity and idea of the saptak, and it's my wish that this thing goes all around the world and people from all groups come and participate to make it one of the most successful digital series of music. Thanks once again Namaskar !

Kaushar Haji - Vocalist Namaste, I am very thankful to Shri.Manju bahen and Saptak for believing in my art and giving me this wonderful opportunity under the project 'ANTARNAAD- Unlocking the Musicians and their Music'. We all are going through this hard time of global pandemic and during this situation to give chance to artists to expose them their art is really good initiative. Saptak is doing great work to establish and spread Indian Classical Music across the world where all the great artists gather under the same roof to spread Indian classical music..It's really great idea that Saptak organisation thought and cared for artists and also rising artists like us during this tough time. I am feeling very blessed that I got some good reviews from some good personalities and musicians and this appreciation from great personalities is really motivating for sadhak and students like us.

Saptak is one of the leading Music organisations in India and I consider myself fortunate to have received the opportunity to perform for Saptak. During these hard times of Pandemic and lockdown where concerts are not taking place , Saptak came up with this great idea of 'Antarnaad' where they are featuring different artists every week on their YouTube channel . Through this , they are giving a great platform to the artists and also supporting them financially during this period of crisis. The format is very well designed , coordinated , publicised and executed. I sincerely thank Saptak for making me part of this wonderful initiative. Best Regards, Ninad Daithankar
