When it comes to music, Deepika Seth prefers "mahaul" (environment) over money. This explains why the Mumbai resident's (she originally hails from Delhi) love affair with home concerts began when she attended a gig on somebody's terrace, complete with charpais and fairy lights. "The vibe of the show and the place can be a dealbreaker when it comes to the audience going back home happy or not," says Seth, 28, whose initial career was in artiste management, and later at an organisation that conducts home concerts across the country.
