Sparsh Shah, a 15-year-old singer, rapper and a motivational speaker from New Jersey, and singer-composer-producer Rohan Puntambekar have recreated a version of Indias national anthem, the "Jana Gana Mana".
The new version of the song has been sung by Sparsh. The music has been produced by Rohan.
"Both me and Rohan were planning to do a musical collaboration. We met on Facetime and decided to start a music project around the Republic Day occasion. So, we brainstormed and came up with a recreated version of our national anthem and tried to give it a refreshing touch," Sparsh said in a statement.
"We did the recording and video shooting via FaceTime, Skype and other modes. The entire process was simply amazing".

He is a professionally trained singer in Hindustani classical and American vocal music.
