THE WORLD MIGHT seem drab or dark for someone whose profession revolves around data analysis, cybersecurity and forensic technology. But Amit Jaju isn't one of them. Known to be a leader and tech guru in India's corporate world, Jaju's life outside the boardroom is an eclectic blend of melody and adventure. He is a trained singer and says he has 'wanderlust at heart.' In fact, for Jaju-who is Senior Managing Director at the US-headquartered global expert services and advisory firm Ankura Consulting (India)-life is a rich tapestry of diverse pursuits. And because he juggles between business and art, Jaju, in many ways, best exemplifies Benjamin Franklin's famous dictum: 'If passion drives T you, let reason hold the reins."
Jaju's passion for music began early and he trained himself in Hindustani Classical through at-home classes. He also has explored several studios around Andheri West, Mumbai, where he has had the opportunity to record. "The recording studio knows me as well as the corner office, and each song I record is a testament to my dedication to this craft," he muses. He recently recorded renditions of Khamoshiyan, Phir Kabhi, and Humdard, all originally sung by Arijit Singh. For him, these sessions were a remarkable experience in understanding the intricacies of studio recording.
