With an ISO 9001 certification for his DJ (Disc jockey) Training Institute, Ludhiana-based Bhanu Ahuja has maintained his image of being a trendsetter. |
Bhanu's Studio 69 is the first DJ training institute in the country to receive an ISO certification as claimed by the man himself. |
|
Talking to Business Standard about his musical journey, DJ Bhanu said, "I began DJing way back in 1996 when majority of people in this city had no idea what I was talking about. But then small private parties helped me establish myself and Studio 69 soon became a brand. Now over the years, this work has grown into many fields like DJ training institute, light-and-sound installing and event and artists management. And I felt this strong need to streamline all my affairs and that is how I decided to go in for this certification.'' |
|
"The mark ISO as such lends a lot of credibility and now I have some set quality standards for myself that I have to maintain as my certification will be audited every six months,'' he added. |
|
Well this man, who was given the award of Innovative Entrepreneur of the year in 2202 by Ludhiana Management Association (LMA), will soon be trying his hand in remixes. |
|
''I have launched two albums U & me and Wet and Wild. But I am tied in contract with the company and the moment this contract is off, I plan to do a lot of experiments.'' |
|
Rubbishing the title of being exorbitant, Bhanu said, ''In present times, we have DJs in every nook and corner of the city. And I only demand money for the quality of work I give. I also suggest a Rs 5,000 DJ package for my client who is organising a 150-people birthday bash but then at the same time I also suggest a Rs 1.5-lakh package for a big event like marriage or reception.'' |
|
''For my training institute, I have tied up with three well-known names in DJ industry who give me technical support namely Propeller Head from Sweden, DJ Suketu and Pro Musical, a company from Chennai. Then the kind of equipment, which I use here in Ludhiana, is being used by some of the best and most expensive DJs in Delhi. Quality comes at a price,'' he adds. |
