Snehesh has performed extensively in India, the US, Australia, and Canada, and is the recipient of multiple accolades including the National Scholarship from the Government of India and the Acharya Allauddin Khan Memorial Award. He graduated with an MS in Music Technology from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2020 and frequently explores the intersection of sitar and technology.
