I have worked with and have seen Nikhil Pai at work and I can honestly say he is very dedicated and committed to whatever he takes on. As a Sound Engineer, his attention to detail is very satisfying. He constantly upgrades his skills and knowledge in his field of work.

Nikhil has been one of the best engineers I've even had the opportunity to work with. He is thorough with his knowledge of the venue, my gear, etc and has been responsible for giving us the best sound on stage and otherwise. There's a lot one can learn while working with him.
Jayanth Sridhar - Guitarist, Vocalist and Audio Engineer.
I've known Nikhil as an excellent live audio engineer, a dedicated AV systems designer and above all else a great human being.
Nikhil brings his passion for audio when mixing at console for live gigs or while designing great sounding venues. In this he combines his vast experience accumulated over years of audio system design and best practices of on-stage mic-ing and monitoring.

I have known Nikhil Pai for over 20 years. He is one of the most respected freelance Audio Engineers in India, and has worked with many of the top performing artists in the country and also internationally. His approach is extremely professional and he has a keen eye on - not only audio- but other aspects of production, which makes it a really good experience for us to work with him on events!!

Well, everyone loves their secret sauce... what happens if someone has a full basket of those... Nikhil is one of them... A sound engineer (par excellence), a race car navigator (award winning btw), a gentlemen and the list goes on... what truly stands out about him is his cool head and leadership skills... we once had an event which had the fool proof recipe for disaster and we must commend Nikhil on how he navigated through the issues (and there wasn't just a 'few') and ensured the end result was a success.

Nikhil has been a client who has commissioned my freelance services since 2017. I have had only a positive and productive collaboration with him. He’s clear in what he expects out of service requests and is also open to creative ideas on the output. I have created his website and continue to manage it, and it has been a great opportunity working with someone who is extremely insightful of his work and professional industry. I have also learned a lot from his meticulous nature and aspire to be as passionate as he is. He’s surely one of the most hardworking and dedicated people I have had the pleasure to work with.

I have known Nikhil Pai both as a childhood friend and as a professional. If there is one thing that I admire about him, it's his meticulous disciplined & professional manner of conduct.
With music as our common interest he chose to convert passion into profession. Over the years I have watched him grow and evolve into a very knowledgeable sound engineer.
His kindness and humbleness have been his boon since our early days. He's always an asset on any project.

I had the pleasure of working with Nikhil on three distinct festivals - Bangalore Open Air 2016, Indie March 2016, and High Voltage - where he served as the festival's technical director. Nikhil's exceptional talent and unwavering work ethic left a lasting impression on me. His meticulous attention to detail and methodical workflow significantly influenced my own approach, leading to improvements in my work processes. What sets Nikhil apart is not only his passion for audio but also his willingness to share his wealth of knowledge and experience with others. It's this combination of expertise and generosity that makes him truly exceptional in his field.
