I shared the stage with popular artists in the Indian music industry, including Gopi Sunder, Deepak Dev, A.R Rahman's lead guitarist Keba Jeremiah, and Sana Moidutty. It was truly a humbling experience! I was lucky to be associated with the music launch of Baahubali 2 in Dubai and performing at Dubai's prestigious 'Sikka Art Fair'. Opening for Ankit Tiwari at the Yas Mega Mela and being a part of the opening act for the renowned Shankar Ehsan and Loy was an unforgettable experience."
