TESTIMONIALS BY MAESTROS

shruti.jpg

I have known Mr. Atindra Laxmikant Sarvadikar in a personal capacity for
last few years and have found him to be honest, reliable, conscientious
and courteous. He is a sincere and hard working. He has taken Music as a
full time carrier. I have had observed his participation and interaction
in class and have evaluated his knowledge of the subject matter during
his degree of M.Mus at University of Mumbai. He deserves all the possible
encouragement, and is recommended for any position or endeavour that he
may seek to pursue.

- Smt. Shruti Sadolikar- Katkar
