Passions: Life Outside the Office
Narayan Krishnaswamy grooves to the djembe, an African drum.

Narayan Krishnaswamy truly loves music. He can sing, compose and play the guitar. But it is the djembe that gets him grooving. He owns several percussion instruments, of which four are djembes. And every Sunday, he brings the house down as he jams with a group of friends. Krishnaswamy, co-founder of Bengaluru-based HR consultancy, Talking Heads, bought his first drum in 2002. Since then, he has been playing daily at home, and with a band once in a while. “The tension and resolution of music is mirrored perfectly in business life. When a note hangs in the air, it needs to find a home to create harmony. Similarly, so many things cause tension in business. Ultimately, they get resolved and the business moves forward,” says he. Well composed!
