Taalmagic is delighted to announce its 50th Sangeet Baithak — a heartfelt milestone in our ongoing journey that began as a humble initiative in 2019. Over the years, this intimate series has blossomed into a cherished platform that brings together budding talents and established maestros of Hindustani Classical Music, offering audiences a chance to experience its beauty up close.
Each baithak is a space where music breathes freely — where rasikas not only enjoy the performances but also gain a deeper appreciation of the art, often through direct interaction with the artists themselves.
For this special occasion, we are honoured to feature:
Shri Ayushaman Das on the Bansuri
Shri Deepak Naik on the Tabla — a promising disciple of Taalmagic, training under Shri Anand H.S.
Followed by a short Tabla Solo by Shri Anand H.S., accompanied by the versatile Shri Alok Sarkar on Harmonium (Lehera Saath)
Taalmagic warmly invites all music lovers to join us for this special evening and be a part of our continuing musical journey.

Shri Ayushman Das, a dedicated Hindustani flautist whose musical journey began at the tender age of four as a tabla player. Over the years, his deep connection with melody led him to the bansuri, where he found his true calling.
Ayushman has been learning and performing flute for more than 15 years, receiving guidance from eminent maestros like Pandit Himanshu Nanda and Pandit Sameer Rao, both senior disciples of Padma Vibhushan Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia. He also had the rare opportunity to stay and learn at Vrindavan Gurukul, under the inspiration of Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia himself.
Currently, Ayushman continues his musical training in the gayaki ang tradition under Vidhushi Geetha Heblikar, while also nurturing young flute enthusiasts through his own institution, Aalap Flute Class.
Shri Deepak Naik is a devoted student of tabla. He hails from Belagavi, Karnataka, and currently resides in Bangalore with his wife and mother.
He began learning the tabla at the age of 8 under the guidance of his father as a hobby. After a long break, he resumed his tabla journey three years ago under the mentorship of Shri Anurag Sir.
For the past 1.5 years, he has been learning at Taalmagic under Shri Anand H.S.
Professionally, he works as a Tech Lead at Daimler Trucks.
Shri Anand H.S. is a dedicated Tabla artist and the founder of Taalmagic Trust®, an initiative born from his deep love for Indian Classical Music. He continues his musical journey under the guidance of Pandit Amrutesh Kulkarni ji, refining his art with devotion and discipline.
After spending over two decades in the Indian IT industry, with leading organizations such as HP, Fidelity Investments, and Dell, he chose to follow his true calling — to learn, perform, and promote Indian Classical Music.
Through Taalmagic, Shri Anand has built a vibrant platform that showcases the richness and diversity of Indian music through intimate Baithaks, featuring both emerging and established artists. His vision and efforts have helped bridge the gap between traditional art forms and contemporary audiences, nurturing a deeper appreciation for this timeless musical heritage.
Shri Alok Sarkar is a seasoned vocalist of the Kirana Gharana, trained under Pandit Raghavendra Gudi. A regular performer at Taalmagic Baithaks, he has earned recognition not only for his soulful vocal renditions but also for his artistry on the Harmonium, where his deep understanding of raag nuances beautifully complements the performing artists. His intuitive ability to grasp and elevate the musical atmosphere has made him a cherished presence in every baithak.
Beyond his musical pursuits, Shri Sarkar is an expert scientist with extensive experience in developing innovative materials—from conceptualization to commercialization. He brings expertise in polymers, gels, catalysis, and personal care products.
