Following this, she was the music director for two Telugu films, writer, Thedavaste fighter and Trivikraman.[5]
She is also a pioneer and huge proponent of reviving Indian Ragas as an alternative therapy. She is currently working on projects with medical practitioners to create an awareness of Indian Raga therapy to help heal patients faster from chronic diseases like asthma, spine issues, stomach problems etc. Her articles on Raga Therapy have generated a lot of curiosity about this traditional Indian Raga therapy which was otherwise getting lost to other influences.[6][7]
