Krishnanand “Sankalp” Nayak – Head – Technology  a.k.a  “Pedavan“*  Manager, US coordinator (sankalp(at)radioidli(dot)net)

Sankalp’s first encounter with Radio Idli began as a painful host of the Chutney Chat Show. He had a dream to make Radio Idli self hosted with improved design and functionality.  Radio Idli Version 2, and now Version 3,  was his brainchild for which he totally managed the costs and effort for procuring our own hosting service and having a totally renewed site. Add to that the effort of convincing Nagesh to move on from the blogger version.

Sankalp works as a technology professional with a leading consulting firm and is currently based in the US.  He has been instrumental in approaching Saraswat organizations in the US and getting their whole-hearted support.

**Pedavan – meaning the traditional Saraswat idli steam cooker, is a nick name for our server that holds our servings.

Kulyadi Nagesh R. Pai – Founding “Anna” and Editor (nagesh(at)radioidli(dot)net)

Radio Idli was born at Nagesh’s home in Mumbai, where it started as a modest effort to showcase the talent of his close friends (radioidli.blogspot.com). Beginning with collecting content from close friends, to a growing patronage of Saraswats located far and wide, Nagesh has enjoyed the privilege of presenting unsung talents as well as celebrity performances on the website.

At his work, Nagesh manages digital communications for a large financial services provider. He also enjoys visiting b-schools in Mumbai, as a visiting faculty for Marketing and Communications.  He is an avid Bhajan and Saraswat culture enthusiast, which drives him and the site.
