About Pankaj Anand
I am a mechanical engineer by training, a consultant in LEAN Management (www.leancon.org) by profession and a “chime maker” by passion. I am an outdoors person who loves being with nature, be it trekking or taking photographs. I have been an ardent lover of music, especially Indian and western classical music since my college days.
Making a good wind chime has been my dream for a long time, and it is only in early 2014 that my friend, confidante and professional colleague, Vinay Achwal and I decided to make these musical chimes. Vinay provided the technical details of Indian classical ragas and I set about experimenting with the mechanical build. We wanted the chimes to accurately play the string of notes that we decided, and that too by creating a soothing melody in an extremely pleasing manner.
We created our first musical wind chime in April this year (2015). The raving response we got encouraged me to hand craft more chimes and offer them to those who wished to add a pleasing ambience to their homes, workplace or business places. I worked out a mechanical design to maintain consistency and accuracy of the all components of each chime that I make by hand, every single time.
For me, “making an excellent product consistently is an art… not a merely a product of machines or technology!”
