New Delhi:
With foot tapping tunes from old Bollywood classics a bunch of Chief Executive Officers and senior executives came together for a noble cause, singing to raise funds for the medical treatment of 10 critically ill underprivileged children.
The event 'CEOs Sing For GF Kids' organised by Genesis Foundation (GF) brought together personalities like former election commissioner S Y Quarashi, sufi and classical singer Zila Khan besides Editor and Publisher of Rolling Stone India, N Radhakrishnan as judges to assess the musical talents of corporate leaders who sang their favorite songs in Gurgaon recently.
"I love music and enjoy playing together. I have a band and we jam whenever possible. While playing alone is good enough, playing together is a lot more exciting and fun. For this event I played alone," Mr Quarashi said.
The leaders of boardrooms were divided into teams from Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, who competed against each other with melodies ranging from popular Western to Bollywood music.
"CEOs from across Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore came together, and we are delighted that the idea has now taken shape so beautifully," Prema Sagar, Founding Trustee, Genesis Foundation said.
"Getting corporates to let their hair down and have some fun is a great initiative. In this highly competitive, cut throat business world that allows you no room to unwind and relax, taking time out for music is therapeutic," Mr Quraishi said.
Kishore Kumar, Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Manna Dey and Hemant Kumar dominated the Bollywood performance especially the favourites of the rocking 1980s.
"I sang peppy numbers of Kishore Kumar like 'Jhumroo' and 'Dekha Na Haye Re' to entertain the audience. I have been into music since the 1970s and have sung on many occasions, the most prestigious one being when I was awarded as the best singer for Kishore Kumar songs in 1990 by late music director, Anil Biswas in an All India competition held in Delhi," said Vipin Raheja, Chairman and Managing Director, Napino Auto and Electronics Ltd.
