Shiv Kumar Sharma, continues to be watched by many till today. It actively resonates with those passionate about music education and serves as an enduring source of inspiration.

“In the last two years, Spotify reported a staggering 500% surge in classical music consumption in India, with over 45% of listeners under 25, highlighting the genre’s broad appeal across age groups.”
