Sunil Koshy inspires Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad students to rediscover joy through music in Bengaluru
Bengaluru: On a drizzly Sunday evening in the city, visiting students from the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) got a lesson they never saw coming: The session was not about balance sheets and corporate strategies but all about hitting the high notes! They were treated to a real-life example of 'following your passion' from an unlikely mentor: Sunil Koshy, the man who turns bathroom singers into budding performers. Yes, you read that right. Koshy is not the typical corporate honcho. But his entrepreneurial journey, from being a techie in an MNC to becoming a musician-cum-vocal coach, left the BPGP (Blended Post Graduate Programme) students spellbound. Apart from interacting with the students, Koshy encouraged them to sing, and to their own surprise, many joined in a spontaneous chorus with him. In fact, Koshy, after learning music, launched 'Mug to Mike' in 2013 along with his wife Archana Hallikeri—a platform for bathroom and amateur singers that has now trained over 15,000 people across India and the UAE. The idea was simple yet powerful: help people rediscover joy through music, even if they'd never sung outside their bathrooms. This unique journey is now the subject of a Harvard Business Publishing case study, taught at institutions like MDI Gurgaon and discussed globally. Koshy's story found special resonance with IIMA students when he was invited to perform as part of a classroom engagement, blurring the lines between lecture and life lesson. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tukarkan Bitcoin dan Ethereum - Tanpa Dompet Diperlukan! IC Markets MULAI SEKARANG Undo "We're learning about ecosystems in strategic management," said Angadpreet Singh, a PGP student. "This felt like a real-life example—how you build a community, evolve with technology, and create engagement around a shared passion." It isn't just students who took notes. IIMA professor Joshy Jacob described how Koshy's art can help towards emotional well-being in a stressful fast-paced world. But among management professionals, this form, with a global audience, is also an industry to be studied in depth. "We have a bouquet of specialised courses. For example, one of our alumni pursues a course on the film industry. We want to really cover different industries and music is one," Joshy noted, reinforcing that Koshy's journey is not just melodic but methodical and worthy of academic inquiry. What sets From Mug to Mike apart is how it offers musical experiences to people with no professional ambitions—engineers, homemakers, and even retirees. Participants went on to record in studios associated with legends like Hariharan and KS Chithra, release YouTube videos, and sing with names like Kumar Sanu. Koshy's own work includes albums, film compositions, and an award-winning Kannada audio film, Reboot—a musical narrative of a techie's life. "I always tell people to create original music, even though you have to spend money to do that. I saw in companies that everybody likes to sing... many are bathroom singers, lacking a platform, ecosystem. Now we have a community of 15,000 singers who want to be better at the art form and some have even gone on to make jingles," Koshy said.

Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience. Generate Key Takeaways Everyone should be celebrating Cody Johnson at the 60th annual Academy of Country Music Awards, going into the award show tied with Morgan Wallen for the most nominations of any male artist this year: Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for 'Dirt Cheap," Single of the Year for 'Dirt Cheap," and Musical Event of the Year for 'I'm Gonna Love You' (featuring Carrie Underwood). As if things could not get more impressive, the Texas native is competing against himself in the Visual Media of the Year category, nominated for both 'Dirt Cheap" and 'I'm Gonna Love You' (featuring Carrie Underwood). With his impressive amount of nominations aside, Johnson will also be taking the stage tomorrow night (May 8) in his home state — as the award show will take place at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas — performing alongside Brooks & Dunn. Ahead of the soon-to-be sensational performance, the talented singer/songwriter stopped by media row to tease the performance, delving into the details while speaking with Country Now. For those who are unfamiliar, Johnson has collaborated with Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn on numerous occasions, joining forces to record a new rendition of 'Red Dirt Road" for Brooks & Dunn's Reboot album, prior to joining forces for a second time to record 'Long Live Country Music' for Johnson's Leather album. According to the "The Painter" singer, his relationship with Brooks & Dunn began "when [he] got asked to be on the Reboot album, which was extremely cool." Johnson reminisced, "I believe we played outdoors at, I think it was CMA Fest downtown on Broadway in Nashville, and then just started kind of exchanging phone numbers, talking about projects and songs... Ronnie's hit me up several times like 'What do you think about this song?' and that's actually how I got 'Long Live Country Music.'' Since then, Johnson has "been able to pick up the phone and call Ronnie or Kix anytime of day or night and ask questions or get some advice," deeming Brooks & Dunn — who have second-most ACM Awards in history with 30 — to be his "heroes." How sweet is that? Nevertheless, Johnson will get the chance to share the stage with said "heroes," giving attendees at the 2025 ACM Awards a glimpse into Reboot with their rendition of 'Red Dirt Road.' The 37-year-old teased, 'I think my favorite part of playing 'Red Dirt Road' with Brooks & Dunn is the fact that it's not the original, that it's kind of a broken down acoustic thing. All the guitar signatures are different, and me and my band play it every now and then on stage, just us, so it kind of feels like it's part of our career now, so I think that's my favorite part of it.' The ACM Awards themselves even teased the performance, sharing a video via TikTok of the three country stars spending some time together backstage. "Walking into #ACMawards rehearsals like," the caption reads, tagging both acts. To see the performance for yourself — as well as performances from Kelsea Ballerini, Eric Church, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Chris Stapleton, Blake Shelton, Zach Top, Lainey Wilson and more — tune into the the 2025 ACM Awards, hosted by Reba McEntire for the 18th time, tomorrow at 8pm ET/5pm PT via Prime Video, as well as the Amazon Music channel via Twitch.

Breaking Barriers: How Reboot01 is Cultivating Bahrain's Next-Gen Developers
We spoke to Yaman Al-Masri, Tech Lead at Reboot Coding Institute (Reboot01), who has been part of the institute since its launch in 2023. He has played an important role in shaping its immersive learning experience. A Computer Engineering graduate from the University of Bahrain, Yaman has been involved in coding education since the age of 17, conducting training in web and app development, full-stack development, AI, and cybersecurity. Q1: How does hands-on learning reshape tech education compared to traditional methods, and why is this shift so important, especially in Bahrain, a top tech hub in the GCC? At Reboot Coding Institute, we embrace an immersive, hands-on learning model refined over the last twenty years to produce mid-to-senior-level developers. Unlike traditional curriculums, we adapt in real-time with 01Edu, ensuring students stay ahead of industry shifts. Through mentorship and hands-on projects, we bridge the gap between education and modern tech demands. A university degree alone isn't enough for programming success. That's why we emphasize practical experience, agile methodologies, and essential soft skills. Our fast-paced, project-based model mirrors innovative tech environments, fostering collective intelligence, creativity, and adaptability. Students gain practical experience through more than 55 unique projects—ranging from building secure, WhatsApp-style messaging platforms to fully functional, Amazon-like e-commerce sites that build skills beyond basic coding—qualities highly valued by employers. Our program starts from zero, welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds—technicians, civil engineers, and teachers—guiding them into full-stack development. Built on logic and critical thinking, the program reinforces these skills through a rigorous selection process that equips students for a dynamic, challenge-driven ecosystem. Additionally, 100% Tamkeen support is available for all Bahrainis, making tech career transitions more accessible than ever. 'I truly believe Bahrain's tech talent rivals and often exceeds the region, something I've witnessed more than ever lately.' Reboot students are securing roles at Citibank, KPMG, and Raincode even before graduating while standing out in competitions like StartUp Bahrain and Mashroo3i. Their drive, combined with our hands-on approach, equips them with the skills, mindset, and experience to thrive locally and globally. Q2: Tech and coding are essential across industries, from healthcare to AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity. How is student interest evolving, and how can they be trained for this demand? Technology is integral to nearly every industry, with Industry 4.0 driving demand for skilled professionals. Reboot meets this growing demand with seven specialized tracks, including Cloud DevOps, AI, Java full-stack, and mobile development—all built on real-world projects. In addition, our upcoming AI Starter Program trains students and professionals to code, build tools, and strategically harness AI technologies like ChatGPT—transforming them into 10x programmers—faster, more efficient, and more innovative. At Reboot, students come from diverse educational and professional backgrounds, proving that anyone with the right mindset and dedication can transition into the tech world. We spoke to three students, Omar Al Bahri, Ahmed Abdeen, and Mohammed Adwan, who had no prior experience in software development before joining Reboot. Omar is a Mechanical Engineer from the University of Bahrain with work experience spanning engineering, hospitality, and freelance work. Ahmed has a versatile background, studying electronics in high school and business and international logistics management at Bahrain Polytechnic. Meanwhile, Mohammed pursued interior design at the University of Bahrain and has professional experience in design and marketing. Q1: How has Reboot's dynamic and inclusive learning environment shaped your journey as a Software Developer, and what sets your experience apart from those who have taken more traditional learning paths? Omar: Reboot01 offers a Silicon Valley-style experience that is truly unique in Bahrain. Unlike traditional university settings with rigid structures, Reboot01 offers nearly 24-hour access and fosters collaborative learning, promoting creativity and flexibility. I remember struggling with C++ alone in university but grasped it quickly when surrounded by my peers. Reboot is built around this very principle. Ahmed: My tech journey began in college when I attended a boot camp, which sparked my interest in tech. When I found Reboot, I wasn't sure what to expect, but its gamified learning approach immediately stood out. Reboot's gamified learning, from its unique selection process to its program structure, felt like a series of interconnected puzzles leading to a big-picture understanding of software development. I've now been in the program for nearly two years as part of the first batch, and looking back, I am amazed at how much I have grown, both in skills and confidence. The transformation has been incredible. Mohammed: Coming from a non-tech background and having explored multiple career paths, I was looking for a challenge. The selection game at Reboot inspired me to pursue full-stack development. Unlike my university's rigid learning structure, which limited my experience, Reboot's 'learn-by-doing' approach—balancing independent problem-solving with collaborative teamwork—has significantly developed my problem-solving mindset and teamwork abilities. Q2: Coming from a non-tech background without prior coding experience, how was the learning curve, and how prepared do you feel to enter the industry? Omar: The learning curve can be steep, but what makes it easier is the diversity of students in the program. Many of us come from non-tech backgrounds, which creates a sense of relatability and support. One of my biggest interests is startups and entrepreneurship, and Reboot fosters this mindset through networking and exposure to top industry figures. Ahmed: I worked on projects at the university, but they were all in a traditional classroom setting. At Reboot, you tackle challenges solo and with peers. You quickly realize everyone solves problems differently because of their diverse backgrounds. I've learned that there's no single 'right' persona for a career in tech. The possibilities are endless. Mohammed: For someone without a tech background, the learning curve can be intimidating, but Reboot's approach makes it manageable and rewarding for those committed to the process. The flexibility to learn at your own pace is vital, and Reboot builds your confidence, even with initial slow progress. With further training, I feel increasingly prepared for the industry.
