About Us
SwarGanga Music Foundation is a nonprofit initiative founded in 2004 to preserve, document, and share the timeless beauty of Hindustani Classical Music with the world.
What began as a concert platform has evolved into one of the world’s largest digital knowledgebases for Indian classical music — featuring thousands of raags, taals, bandishes, artists, gharanas, videos, and educational resources.
Our work supports students, researchers, musicians, diaspora families, and music enthusiasts from all cultures who seek to understand and experience Hindustani Classical Music deeply and authentically.
We remain guided by four core values: preservation, accessibility, authenticity, and cultural respect.
Our Founder
SwarGanga Music Foundation was started by Adwait Joshi.
Adwait is a Hindustani classical musician and musicologist, an entrepreneur, and a technologist. He sings and plays the harmonium, tabla, pakhawaj, keyboard, and cajon, and continues to explore the bamboo flute and guitar. For him, business, science, and art are not separate lives but different expressions of the same search — to understand people, create with intention, and leave something meaningful behind.
An entrepreneur since the age of fifteen, Adwait went on to build and sell Adapsys and to found DataSeers. Alongside his work in technology, he considers SwarGanga his legacy work: a lifelong commitment to preserving, teaching, and sharing Indian classical music with the world.
