Nachiketa Chakraborty, simply known as Nachiketa, is an Indian singer, songwriter, musician, composer and playback singer who is known for his modern Bengali lyrics. He achieved fame in the early 1990s, with the release of his debut album Ei Besh Bhalo Achi.^[1]

Early life[edit]

Nachiketa was born in Kolkata at Muktaram Babu Street. His father's name was Sakha Ranjan Chakravarti.^[2] His ancestral roots lie in Chechri Rampur village in Kathalia Upazila of Jhalokati District of Bangladesh.^[3] His Grand father Lalit Mohan Chakravarti came to India before 1946. He started composing songs and performing live, as a student of Maharaja Manindra Chandra College in North Kolkata's Shyambazar.^[4]^{[verification needed]} In 1993 his first album Ei besh bhalo achi was released; it was an instant hit. Initially he had a huge youth fan following, but gradually he drew listeners from all age groups. His colloquial language immediately hit the stagnancy of Bengali music in the early 90s. Following the path of Kabir Suman (the then Suman Chattopadhay), Nachiketa changed the age-old concept of Bengali lyrics. Now he is famous singer and songwriter and composer from Calcutta. His songs have touched many people's lives. He is very popular among today's youth generation.
