Apoorvaa Deshpande

I have been fortunate to be born in a musical family and have been a student of music since as long as I can remember. I have been learning Hindustani classical music under the tutelage of my mother and my Guru Smt. Meenal Deshpande, a prominent vocalist of the Jaipur-Atrauli Gharana. She has been a disciple of Pandit (Late) Ratnakar Pai and (Late) Gaansaraswati Smt. Kishori Amonkar.

I have attained Sangeet Visharad from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, equivalent to a an undergraduate degree in music. I am also a recipient of the prestigious CCRT (Centre for Cultural Resources & Training) scholarship by the Government of India for my music. I have rendered songs for popular Marathi albums and for art films. I am also a senior fellow at the global arts platform of IndianRaga.
