POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The Night of IMP-X Fandom 2.0 on March 22nd 2025, it happened!

I have done something no one has ever done before!
This is my Legacy

I have crafted my passion into this 3-minute keynote packed into a cinematic outtake, which I “Performed Live”.

I wanted to show how I view Music and present a product that we proudly built for this space.

Someone who remotely might not even belong doing what he must, but all rules were broken when music itself started communicating, making me chose this path, a path that is so abstract, even till date I struggle to make sense.

The Idea was to Present the IMP APP to the enormous gathering that came for one of the Biggest Indie Festivals that happened in this space.

But deliver a Keynote level presentation of the IMP APP wrapped in a cinematic undertone, because what better way to showcase a Music Product than with Music.

The last 4 years have been few of the toughest years and few of the most blessed years. I got to do something not many people would in their lifetimes. Everyday getting to wake up doing what I do, surround myself with passionate energies, stories of inspiration and Literal Poetic aspirations is "The Blessing".

After a long brutal day at work, with unanticipated hardship, An Artist from some corner of the world releases their new track onto IMP App, That particular track contains energies that surround me, lift me and speak to me saying, This Battle is Worth it!

How many people can claim that?
That their work life actually lifting their spirits and giving them a reason to continue the March!

This has been the toughest venture so far. And i'd like to Thank everyone who supported me in the making of this.

3 years ago today, @odeumlive became something we will never forget🤍

7th October 2023. Fandom, 1st edition. Indian Ocean on stage, and 1,200 people singing every word back to the artists who made the night✨

It was IMP-X's first big event, and the love we received pushed us to keep going, to dream bigger and build grander. Looking back, it remains the favourite of our entire team. Not only for the response, but for the artists, and for what it felt like to watch independent music fill a room and be sung back with so much heart🔥

To @indianoceanmusic , @sidharthbendi , @vanishreesahu , @suppiandthevibe and @addy_ville , thank you for giving us a night that still lives in our hearts. To Odeum, thank you for being home to it. And to everyone who sang along, you made it what it was.

Here's a look back at the night that started it all!

We're back with more. This will only get bigger and better🔥

IMP’s newest Product is on its way!

Over years, we have built many of our own IPs to create paid opportunities and real value to artists. The last year or so, we have worked with various brands to curate and execute live music of multiple formats at various occasions.

The Goal remained the same – Opportunities.

While the IMP App will continue to serve as an Ecosystem for Indie Artists,
Curated by IMP will serve clients to book Live Music for any occasion, which includes curation, production and execution.

Coming soon. by @im__protagonist

Bombay All About Music 26 Edition!
5 years into this, catching up on models, disagreeing with Trends, learning infrastructure, building products, curating experiences, launching IPs, experimenting Hard, failing even harder.
All lead me to accepting reality.

Things have been getting interesting again after a long time.
Work has been getting fun
And I’m looking forward to the next phase ! by @im__protagonist

To listen carefully.
To hold space honestly.
To bring voices together when they carry something worth saying.
To protect expression in whatever small way I can.

I don’t know where this road will take me.

But I know I feel deeply grateful to be walking it.

For the music.
For the artists.
For this country.
For the freedom to still find a way to sing. by @im__protagonist

This year, I was stretched to my limits.
I saw my Aggression and calm at its peek.
My plateaus broke plateaus and became the year I unlearned the most.
.
I faced days that made me think, tomorrow I might wrap up
To days with lower resources that lifted me with blind Hope.
I saw days that would begin searching for any amount of faith to waking up feeling Loved.
.
This year has brought me down to ground reality, put a mirror in my face and burst my bubble. Towards the end of it, I thank every fall from the bottom of my heart. As I began putting in my most humble work.
.
Sometimes in life, it’s the unlearning that will teach you new ways to your days, it opens new realities and new hardships.
It’s the unlearning that taught me how much more is hidden in my blind spot. Unlearning became my new favourite concept.
.
I have reached the bottom of the mountain and I found new courage to walk back up again. Because the mission hasn’t changed. by @im__protagonist

This particular event will hold a special place in my heart!
I loved every detail of it. All the people involved in back stage and front executed a near perfect experience.
.
Most importantly musically, @somavaran took to a level where my legs froze and I stood in a single spot throughout absorbing the Divinity.
Working for Soma Unframed IP and launching a new idea which was designed by the artist herself gave me a new sense of direction, opened up new avenues and collaboration power.
.
And everyone involved were fully tuned into this magical evening. @sravantipatnaik @charuhariharan @nikhil_raj_m1 @soundist @_shreeja_santoor_ @sohailkhansarangi @audio.affairs by @im__protagonist

Our first Sunset Jam at @ikea.india Bengaluru was nothing less than a entirely refreshing and wholesome experience!

Until the ultra HD,edited footage drop, we couldn’t hold back to share these cute little snippets we captured on out journey to make Sunset Jams a full filing, refreshing and exciting experience for the lovely audience in a new city of Bengaluru!

It was hectic for sure, but once the sound started our fatigue vanished and the “oh-so wonderful” performance by our lively artists @kevsleepin & @aanchalbordoloi with @piyus_h_00 made us realize that navigating indie music in a new city will always bring us back to why we started IMP in the first place!

See you all on 12th June for the next evening! taken in IKEA by @im__protagonist

Not entirely sure how I found myself in this space.

One day, you’re building a music platform.

And then one day, you wake up curating music for a Gaurav Gupta event.

This part of the job is something I genuinely love. Especially when a requirement comes in that is niche, layered, and fusion-driven. That moment where you have to understand the vision, find the right artists, speak to them, shape the sound, and slowly turn an abstract idea into something real.

What came out of this one was nothing short of spectacular.

The madness, precision, and beautiful chaos behind this came from the 3 scientists who pulled the world together: @_shruthi_sitar @deeps_on_beats_percussionist @_shreeja_santoor_ . So thankful I got to work with them!

New avenues are opening up.

And honestly, I just want to ride this out and see where it takes me. by @im__protagonist
