aspirations, he pursued a post-graduation in Gurmat Sangeet from
Punjabi University, Patiala, and eventually completed his PhD in the

same field under the guidance of the esteemed Dr. Gurnam Singh Ji,
whom he feels fortunate to be a disciple of.

He has actively participated in numerous conferences at both
