In India, people do not focus on grooming musicians professionally, says popular Bollywood music director Pritam, who will soon be seen judging the second season of music reality television show Dil Hai Hindustani. "I have noticed that in India, we do not groom musicians well to take things professionally. Yes, we focus on our vocalists a lot, but there are other artistes too, like instrumentalists, composers and lyricists.

"Once we identify the talent, grooming and nurturing is important," Pritam told IANS. It is to fill this gap that he started the A&R (Artiste and Repertoire) platform called Jam8.
