As a singer-songwriter and musical innovator, Ankit Batra understands music’s ability to elevate mere experiences into timeless memories. At just five years old, Ankit began learning Indian Classical Music and took to the stage just a year later at the age of 6. Since those early days, he has honed his craft and developed a unique sound. He received his formal training in Hindustani Classical Music from world-renowned Pandit Vinayak Narayan Patwardhan.
His band, Soulful Raaga, combines Ankit’s rich, soothing vocals with simple percussion, and understated guitar melodies to seamlessly weave sound into the fabric of your special day. A pioneer in the luxury wedding industry, he has crafted a unique and mesmerizing musical experience for the Bride’s Entry, Groom’s Entry, Garland Exchange, and more traditional wedding rites.
