Proshfuton Founders - Masters of Bengali Voice Arts

The Voice Lineage

Our founders continue for over 28+ years at All India Radio (Akashvani), the institution named by Rabindranath Tagore himself. This is the training ground that was the pioneer in bringing FM radio to listeners in the country. Creating generations of RJs who defined Indian broadcasting.
Being one of the earlier batches of RJs in AIR their skill got shaped by the development of FM broadcasting.
Beyond the microphone, they have devoted to innumerable stage shows, drama, anchorings, dubbings and the one closest to their heart : spreading their skills and knowledge among others. They're not just teachers. They're cultural custodians spreading a tradition that spans through centuries.

A Message from the Steward

Udvas Bhattacharya, Director

Some inheritances cannot be measured in wealth.

My parents spend all their time trying to bestow their hard earned skills to others. What started as an effort, trying to bloom their introverted son to handle the world, gradually attracted more friends and family. Dont know if I have brought them honour yet, but for sure this oppurtunity should not be bound and gate-kept.

As Proshfuton evolves from an informal family collective into an institution, my role is clear: organize their ongoing work so they can focus entirely on what they do best. After years navigating global ventures, I've taken up the work that matters most, not as its star, but as its steward.
Since only through the roots can a tree nourish its growth.

This skill is an accumulation of their life's ongoing work. I'm honored to express it to the world.

— Udvas Bhattacharya
Director, Proshfuton
