    Personal life and early career[edit]

    Shankar Mahadevan was born in Chembur, Mumbai into a Palakkad Tamil Iyer family originally from Palakkad, Kerala.[2][3][4][5] He learned Hindustani classical and Carnatic music as a child, and began playing the veena at the age of five under Shri Lalitha Venkataraman. Mahadevan studied music under Pandit Shrinivas Khale[6][7] and T.R. Balamani.[8]

    He is an alumnus of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour High School, Chembur and graduated in 1988 with a degree in Computer Science and Software Engineering from the Ramrao Adik Institute of TechnologyinNavi Mumbai, affiliated to Mumbai University, and was a software engineer for the company, Leading Edge.[9] After working for Leading Edge Systems (now Trigyn Technologies Limited), Mahadevan ventured into music.[10][11]

    He has two sons, Siddharth Mahadevan and Shivam Mahadevan, both of whom are singers.

    Musical career[edit]
