Marketing and Communications coordinator

Ratika is a dentist who has worked in management consulting, which is really as diametrically opposite as Snoop Dogg doing reggae. Her love for music stemmed from just how much better it makes her day, making it a permanent fixture. It all started with school choirs, incessant singing of ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ and the stereotypical Gen-Z 90s, 00s jams.

Soon enough, music was not just about singing anymore, but a way to find the right headspace. Dedicating hours, curating the right playlist for before and after performing dental procedures, cafe music, music for walking and pretty much a playlist for every activity of the day, her interest widened across genres - including her love for rap that largely drove a very unexpected Cardi B cover for the batch.

For Ratika, singing is all about having fun as she continues to dabble in different kinds of music that make even the most exhausting days so much better!
