Chandrika Tandon is the name on everyone’s lips after her amazing GRAMMY win last night. But who is she really?
Taking the win for Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album for her collaborative album Triveni, at the 2025 Grammy Awards, Chandrika Tandon solidified her name as one to watch in the world of music.
Even before her big win, Chandrika was well-known - a prominent business leader and philanthropist, she is also the older sister of Indra Nooyi, former CEO of PepsiCo.
Chandrika’s mission is to raise human happiness through music and education, helping others to grow and thrive through empowerment.
In 2004 she started the Krishnamurthy Tandon Foundation, to help build communities, and support arts and spirituality. She has also donated hundreds of thousands of dollars of her own money to various educational institutions, such as the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.
