Who we are
Mr. Milind Borwankar, 'the Guru' ,'the Mentor'; sowed the first seed of foundation of ‘Swar-Sanskar’ in 1987. His initiation to Classical Music was under Shri Dinkar Patwardhan. Thereafter he was fortunate to receive valuable guidance from Pt. Raja Kale, Pt. Ratnakar Pai, Pt. V. R. Athavale and Dr. Ram Deshpande.
He also learnt Tabla from Shri Madhukar Samant. A close associate of famous Music Director C. Ramchandra, Late Pt. Neelkanth Abhyankar imparted expert coaching in the fusion of Classical Music and Light Music.
Mr. Borwankar took to music at an early stage despite having a prolific career in engineering, drawing and designing for an American company. In 1988 he achieved 'Sangeet Visharad’ from 'Gandharv Mahavidhyalaya’. He also worked as an administrator in Gandharv Mahavidhyalaya - Vashi.
“Sabda Pradhan Gayaki” meaning to give as much importance to lyrics, and how words should be treated so as to project a correct picture and feel of any song, were taught to him by great poet and composer-singer Pt. Yashwant Dev. Advanced techniques of harmonium playing for Shri Borwankar were imparted by Pt. Manohar Chimote, Pt. Vishwanath Pendharkar and Pt. Tulsidas Borkar.
