Mumbai: The Dharavi Dream Project (TDDP) expresses deep gratitude to Universal Music India (UMI) and Devraj Sanyal as it commemorates a significant milestone in its journey. Over the past decade, The Dharavi Dream Project has served as a beacon of hope and opportunity, leveraging the power of music to transform lives. As the first School of Hip-Hop in India's second-largest ghetto, it has nurtured talent, empowered communities, and promoted a narrative of positive change.
The enduring partnership between TDDP and UMI has been instrumental in driving this mission forward. Since 2015, UMI has been a crucial ally in recognising the potential of music as a catalyst for social good. Founded by visionaries like the late Samir Bangara from Qyuki Digital Media, along with A.R. Rahman and Shekhar Kapur, TDDP found enthusiastic support from UMI, spearheaded by Universal Music Group of India and South Asia chairman & CEO Devraj Sanyal. Together, they have consistently championed positive change, using the universal language of music to transform lives.
Reflecting on this enduring collaboration, Devraj Sanyal remarked, “The partnership between Dharavi Dream Project and us has remained steadfast in its commitment to using music as a force for social good. This project is not just a corporate social responsibility initiative for us; it is a testament to the transformative power of music, as evidenced by the countless lives it has touched over the past decade. Together with TDDP, we aim to redefine artistic expression, revolutionise educational experiences, and spotlight the talents of underprivileged individuals who are integral to our society. May this partnership endure, and may it continue to create lasting impact.”
Through TDDP, UMI has witnessed firsthand the profound impact of music on individuals and communities. From establishing community centers in shanties to launching state-of-the-art recording studios, this partnership has enabled underprivileged youth to thrive and realise their potential. As The Dharavi Dream Project expands its global reach, UMI remains dedicated to using music as a catalyst for positive social change. Beyond mere entertainment, it's about building resilient communities, fostering creativity, and rewriting stories of hope and resilience
