SCHOOL SUCCESS
STORIES
With the second term at Point Blank
Mumbai launching this month,
we’re shining a spotlight on the
successes of Indian students that
have attended Point Blank in the
past. Two new courses at PB Mumbai
for this term have been added.
Sanchit Balhara:
Sanchit Balhara studied with
us in London back in 2011,
completing the Music Production
& Sound Engineering Diploma.
He has since gone on to become
a successful composer for film
in Bollywood. His latest project
was Padmaavat, released earlier
this year and directed by Sanjay
Leela Bhansali, one of Bollywood’s
most celebrated directors. Learn
more about Sanchit with this
profile piece from the archive.
Sandunes:
Another graduate from the same
Music Production & Sound
Engineering Diploma class
in 2011, Sandunes needs little
introduction. Her brand of bass-
flecked soundscapes, liberally spliced
with the musical traditions of her
native country have won her many
admirers across the international
music community and, as a member
of the DISCWOMAN collective, she is
at the forefront of forces re-shaping
electronic music to be more inclusive
and to communicate more stories.
