Boom Shankar Creates Histroy

Boom Shankar, SPJIMR’S first in-house band comprising of 1st and 2nd year PGDM students created history on the 15th of December 2007. With an astounding performance that blew away all competition, Boom Shanker won the first place at SCMHRD’s ‘Launchpad – The battle of bands’. Along with a trophy and gift vouchers worth Rs.10K, the band earned a direct entry into Channel [V]’s Launchpad ’08, one of India’s top competitions for national rock bands.

The members of Boom Shankar include – Aniruddha Kundu (Lead Guitar), Nitin Sharma (Rhythm Guitar, Vocals), Sameer Walzade (Bass Guitar, Vocals) and Yudhishthir SJB Rana (Drums). The performance of the band deserves special mention in light of the fact that it was formed a week prior to the event. When asked to comment on their stunning performance, the band members credited their hard work and the support of fellow PGDM participants for their success. Special mention was also made of Mrs. Varsha Parab, who helped the band members in procuring instruments at short notice and backed them in their efforts.

Wishing Boom Shanker all the very best for days ahead and hoping they make us even prouder by emerging as the country’s top rock band, a few months from now.
