SEPTEMBER 2016
Q. How did your career as an entrepreneur start ?
A. Blue Elephant started out of a necessity, very honestly. I started translating at the very start of my
career. I had learned German. So I started translations myself. I was a freelancer and thereafter I saw
that there was a need in the market for a translation services company to fulfill interpretations in
translation needs for various corporates from various languages. So I set it up. Thankfully subsequent
travels for programmes abroad helped me tie-up with links all over the world. I had to just connect
the dots after a point and Blue elephant came into being in 2005.
Q. Now you have started to sing a lot in Hindi .. and a lot of live Gigs …
A. In Hindi I have sung for Vishal Shekar starting from Chennai Express. That has been my re-break
of songs. I do a lot of live gigs. I usually go solo. I don’t do medley with a lot of other singers. I prefer
it that way. It gives me a lot of freedom to plan out my songs in the way it should flow and there’s a
lot more grip on what exactly happens on stage when I perform alone. It is been leaning more towards Hindustani classical, Ghazals and Bhajans to be particular, I have performed on the devotional
side as well.
