Musical Engagement

'L&T's Corporate Human Resources and Shankar Mahadevan Academy have collaborated to make available an ‘online' music academy to all employees of L&T and their family members across the globe.


The initiative will enable the L&Tites and their family members to learn Hindustani Classical, Carnatic Classical and Hindi songs from the comfort of their homes.


A gamut of courses is being offered to enable beginners to fortify the basics and empower others to hone their skills and broaden their singing spectrum. Through these courses, the participants can learn music from teachers, conduct self-assessment and evaluation and also get audio and video feedback on their progress.


The programme will be officially launched by Shankar Mahadevan on September 16 at the Powai Campus. The initiative would also identify ‘Voices of L&T', the talented ones, who could possibly sing along with Shankar Mahadevan for a music album.' (Source: Business Line)

Wow!! What an engagement practice by binding their family members too!!! I think an engagement practice which not only engages an employee but also their family create a stronger bond. We have witnessed such kind of family engagement practices with Mc donalds too.

Hi Dev,

You are right - there are quite a few anchor-points in this intiative - first is family, second is music and third is aspirational i.e. getting an opportunity to record with a musical genius. Overall a creative emotional connect.

Cheers,
