When you sit together as a family for a meal, what – if anything – tends to draw in everyone’s attention, during a discussion? Chances are that it tends to vary. In a similar way, could music bring people together? This was the question in the mind of the CEO and Founder of SMA, Sridhar Ranganathan.Īnd thus was born the IIP program of SMA. Bringing communities together, it enables people to mingle and share their joy – with little focus (if any) on each individual’s socio-economic status. Instead, it is an occasion for residents of villages, apartment complexes and cities to gather together and celebrate the advent of the much-loved elephant God. This is an event which does not call for buying expensive gifts or performing elaborate practices at home. If there is one festival in India which spreads joy among the masses, regardless of their economic status, it must be the Ganesha festival. While the goal (as always) is to create a social impact, this program serves to do this by inculcating values in the masses – through music.
