TEDxYouth@Chennai - 'Duality' The Band - One shared passion - Music!

He finished his MBA and then worked in the Automobile and the Banking & Financial Services Industry before following his true passions - Music & Art. Today, he is a writer, conducts and organizes events, occasionally dabbles in art and is a full time musician. A resident of Chennai with Tamil, Konkani and Maharashtrian roots, Mihir has been trained in Hindustani Vocal, Carnatic Violin and the guitar.
