Susmit leaving Indian Ocean is a positive development: Rahul Ram

Indian Ocean, one of the country’s most popular bands, sports a new look now, with key member Susmit Sen having left the band not long ago to pursue his solo career. However, Rahul Ram, the ace bass guitarist and music composer of the band, says that it has been a positive development for everyone associated with the band.

Ram, who was in Vadodara recently along with the band for a performance, says, “Contrary to popular perception, it is a very positive development and it was in the best interest of everyone associated with the band, including Susmit.Today, he is doing well and our band is doing great too, which is wonderful to see. It was very clear to all of us that Susmit wanted to leave for a while, but wasn’t saying it. Eventually, he communicated it to us and there was no bitterness. Besides, Nikhil Rao (Susmit’s replacement) has been a great addition to the band. These days, we are practicing a lot together, just like the good old days. It is super fun! Working on Tandanu, our latest album, was great fun and we are looking forward to try and continue creating some good music together.
