ALAKH

As its name, is a good beginning with a leap of faith and common vision between Do Right Foundation for Performing Artists and Pt. Bhaiya Ganpat Rao Memorial Trust. Our vision is to initiate the flow of public conversations between performing artists and equally, to create numerous stages with the one and only purpose of respecting the art and the artist that we all would ever come across.

PT.BHAIYA GANPAT RAO MEMORIAL TRUST

An organization built in respect and memory of a Guru, an inspiration.

One of the finest harmonium players and introducer in recent history has been Bhaiya Sahib GanpatRao of Gwalior. It is in his honor that the Pt. Bhaiya Ganpat Rao memorial trust was established by none other than Padma Shri awardee Mehmood Dholpuri (Harmonium Nawaz). Trained under Guru taan Samrat Naseer Ahmad Khan sahab of Delhi Gharana, Dholpuri sahab played as an accompanist to leading vocalists Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Sahab, Ustad Rashid Khan, Ustad Salamat Ali Nazakat Ali Khan, Ustad AbdulRashid khan Sahab  Rajan-Sajan Mishra, Parveen Sultana, Pt.Bhimsen Joshi, Pt. Jasraj, Girija Devi, Ustad Ghulam Sadiq Khan and  Kishori Amonkar. He also played renowned musicians like Ashwini Bhide-Deshpandee, Shubha Mudgal and Meeta Pandit and performed jugalbandi with Zakir Hussain, renowned tabla player. It was to his exceptional work that, The Government of India awarded him the fourth highest civilian honour of the Padma Shri, in 2006, for his contributions to Music, making him the first harmonium player to receive the award. 

His son Zakir Dholpuri (Harmonium player) and Aditya Abhilash now leads the Trust with the purpose to connect every performing artist especially those from Hindustani classical backgrounds to get optimum visibility to bring forth their talent.

DO RIGHT FOUNDATION FOR PERFORMING ARTISTS (DRFPA)

The foundation that stands to reach and touch every performing artist, globally.

DRFPA is mapping India to build the in-depth information of performers and entertainers to study, analyze and solve issues of media & entertainment industry. Connecting with performing artists across all genres, locations and experience levels and bringing their identity to a futuristically accessible medium is the core purpose of the organization. Considering the herculean task that just mapping a country like India is, leave apart the globe and let alone the vision to also solve deep-rooted problems of a niche community - collaboration and association with like-minded individuals and organizations is their coherent approach to delivering on the task undertaken.

DO RIGHT FOUNDATION and MATCH MY TALENT are dual initiatives of SONIA SWAROOP CHOKSI and VISHWAS DASWANI who have passionately committed to transforming the Performing Arts backdrop of India.
