Felicitation of Dr. Salil Latay - 25 March 2023 - Pune

A leading Training Organisation in the Information Technology (IT) Education Sector comes up with a unique concept to celebrate its Annual Day. The concept is to felicitate the most important mentor or Guru in the lives of the Core Management Team Members of the organisation. A brilliant idea by its dynamic Founder & Director Mr. Vinayak Ujalambe of the famous FirstBit Solutions, Pune.

A member of its Core Team – its Marketing Head – Mr. Ameya Joshi submits a name – a person whom he considers his biggest support, mentor, anchor and guide in his life journey until now. The name is – Dr. Salil Latay – A Singer of Sukoonbhare Nagme in Hindustani & Easy Listening Melodies in English, A First Generation Entrepreneur for 19+ years, having known Ameya as a distant cousin since 1987.

The news came as the biggest surprise of my life. Never ever could I imagine – Anyone being inspired or influenced or mentored by me, by my life or by my doctrines of life; and here I was publicly felicitated by Ameya himself at the Annual Function of FirstBit Solutions titled Karwaan 2023 on 25 March 2023 – celebrating the 9^th year of their successful journey of training the would-be IT workforce – along with this wonderful initiative to motivate their employees.

Thank You Ameya..... I have absolutely no words to express my gratitude and thanks.... Infact I nearly chocked at the actual presentation that was clearly heard in my singing of the few lines. I wish you all the best in life and I shall always be there for you.

Thank You Mr. Vinayak Ujalambe for creating a memory for life for all those felicitated that evening and Thanks to all at FirstBit Solutions, Pune for inviting me to a wonderful event.

A wonderful setting for a grand event.

The wonderful vibrant audience.

An event with wonderful presentations and insights.

And the moment to cherish....Thank You Ameya and FirstBit Solutions, Pune for this honour.

The most heart touching moment for me....Totally out of nowhere!

My instant response. God Bless you Ameya!

A few words and a few lines of a song!

We move on....on to the next destination....Thanks for all your support.

10 Mar 2023 - Concert - Pune

Dr. Salil Latay - In Concert - Sukoonbhare Nagme

A path breaking mission of 58 years – securing a place of dignity for the mentally challenged by providing them with daily life skills, education, vocal training, securing work opportunities and enabling their participation in the social sphere – that’s KAMAYANI, Pune – the vision of Smt. Sindhutai Joshi in 1964 that has created this great organisation.

An iconic organisation puts its faith on my Mission of Melody of Sukoonbhare Nagme with Vocal Sonata for a special concert for its Fund Raising Drive – for the second time. The first one was in August 2021 online – broadcast all over the world. The present one was an on location concert at the majestic setting of Sheth Chaandmal Munot Hall at the Gokhalenagar Campus of KAMAYANI.

The Organisers were iconic, the venue was majestic and so was the theme and concept of the concert – A Tribute to the Legendary Jagjit Singh – with my genre of Sukoonbhare Nagme and the format of Vocal Sonata. Remembering the Maestro through his Ghazals, his Film Songs, his Television Title Songs and his Devotional Songs. The concert was a smashing hit – attended in huge numbers and appreciated by one and all.

Thank You KAMAYANI, Pune. Thank You to its Management and its Staff who put up a superb event. Thank You to each of the Patron and Donor who supported this fund raising drive – which was a huge success. My Concert being trusted once again to raise money for a great social cause – What more honour can I ask for in life? A special Thank You to the man who got my concert to be a part of the great mission of KAMAYANI - for the second time - Dr. Ashutosh Bhupatkar - The Chairman of KAMAYANI, Pune. Thank You Sir!

Thank You to each one of the wonderful audience and through this presentation – my humble tribute to the Legend and one of my many Gurus of music and life – Jagjit Singh.
