Passion for Music and the Inspiration for Amu's Treasures
Chandrika Tandon, the ex-McKinsey business consulting powerhouse and namesake of NYU's Tandon School of Engineering, reveals her true love for music. She shares that music allows her to connect with a deep part of herself, and she has released four albums in the past 15 years, with one of them even being nominated for a Grammy. Her latest album, Amu's Treasures, was inspired by singing to her grandchildren. Starting with traditional chants, her older grandson requested more songs, leading her to dig into songs from her childhood, which exposed her to various genres. The album features collaborations with renowned musicians, resulting in a collection that combines the finest artistry with the love she shares with her grandchildren.
