"A country that has such a rich heritage of music, dance and storytelling and a huge pool of youngsters who are big consumers of concerts, there are many possibilities in the concert economy. You have witnessed that in the last 10 years, the demand and trend for live events have increased.

This proves that there is a massive scope for concerts in India," he said at ‘Utkarsh Odisha, Make in Odisha Conclave’.
