You can change your Connect profile to **private** if you prefer.

Whether you are developing your music career, looking for collaborators, or have an opportunity to share, I hope you will make use of Connect. The choice to remain visible is yours, and we respect it either way. Warm regards, Nidheesh Gopalan Founder, Raag Finder

Today Marks a New Beginning for RaagFinder 🎶❤️
After almost a year of continuous work, testing, refining and improving, I’m incredibly happy to share that our 16 layered - Raag Detection Engine has reached a stage where it can accurately identify raags when the notes are sung or played clearly and in the correct pitch. And now, I need you. ❤️ Try the Raag Detection Engine while practising your vocals or playing a raag on an instrument. Use it as a companion to test your accuracy, experiment with different phrases, and see whether RaagFinder recognises the raag you intended to perform. When RaagFinder detects a raag, vote for the correct finding and share your detection publicly. Your participation matters. These votes help strengthen the AI’s confidence in correct detections while also allowing other members to see how the engine performs across different singers, musicians and instruments. But RaagFinder is becoming much more than a detection engine. You can enable Connect from your Profile Page, connect with fellow singers, musicians, teachers and raag enthusiasts, and chat with your connected members anytime. Only the initial connection requires a Connect credit. Once connected, you can continue chatting freely without paying for every conversation. And there is a lot more coming. What started as an idea almost a year ago is gradually becoming a real technology and community platform dedicated to Indian classical music. Today truly feels like a new beginning for RaagFinder, and I dedicate this milestone to all my Gurus, especially Mr. Sriram Parasuram, Mrs. Anuradha Sriram and Mr. Sanjeev Chimmalgi, as well as all my music friends who have believed in my potential, encouraged me, and guided me through different stages of my life and musical journey. Their trust, support and teachings have remained with me throughout, and I carry them forward with immense gratitude as RaagFinder begins this new chapter. ❤️ So please try the Raag Detection Engine, challenge it with the raags you know, vote on its findings, share your results, and become part of helping us make it even better. Let’s teach, learn, practise, test and discover raags together. — Nidheesh Gopalan Founder, RaagFinder.com
