About Shruti Box
The Shruti Box—a small, modest suitcase-shaped instrument—produces a steady drone that serves as the foundation of Indian classical music, providing a constant anchor for boundless artistic exploration.
Our mission is to embody the role of our namesake: to be a steady foundation where artists can develop and amplify their unique voices and find community.
With a focus on the South-Asian community, we aim to foster a space where musicians and artists can refine their craft, connect with audiences, and amplify their voices through high-quality recording services, studio time, and dynamic live events.
We envision our role as a hub in a thriving cultural scene that balances tradition and innovation, allowing us to reclaim our Desi roots while embracing inclusivity for all backgrounds.
As a grassroots community and a Third Space, we are committed to creating a welcoming environment where individuals from all walks of life can come together, connect, and support one another in their artistic journeys.
Shruti Box is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.
