There are many young singers who have got exceptional talent in this country, and they need better platforms. Sarath Kumar has a great voice and with the right platforms, I believe that no hurdle would be too great for this young guy to cross”.

Mihir said, “India has a lot of talent and the future of the music industry lies in tapping great talent which exists in all corners of the country. I am happy to associate with a platform like ATKT.in who help discover young musicians and other artistes from different colleges.”

Commenting on this association, Prashant Sardesai, co-founder of ATKT.in said, “When talent that has been discovered by ATKT gets such high praise, it fills us with pride.

To hear such lovely words from both of them is amazing!​ ​I am very grateful to ATKT for giving me a platform, and to help me to showcase my talent across the country, rather than just my college or city.”
