Anupam is an inspirer. I have known him for almost two decades. I have seen him inspire little children, rowdy teenagers, young adults with stars in their eyes and grown ups of all sorts - business leaders, bankers, hoteliers and his long list of fans. Learning anything from Anupam is easy - as you just have to spend time with him. I have and will always continue to wish him the best for all his professional pursuits and happy detours in life.

Aditya Narayan
Singer / Composer

Anupam Sir is the first reason that I became a musician full -time. I learned to love not only the Guitar but music as a whole becasue of Sir's unique style of teaching us, with a focus to explore more, and apprecaite arts with a passion. He gave me one of my first jobs as a music producer. And I beleieve that for any student to get work from their mentor is bigger than any project one can ever get. I am forever in his debt.
