2012: Formation of Sanam- the band and Growth Curve In 2012 the band met Ben Thomas (managing director, Kurian & Co Talent Management and a recognised music business manager who had managed careers of successful music artists including Sonu Nigam and Vishal-Shekhar), and based on his experience and knowledge of the Indian music industry paved the way forward for the band.[2][15][16] He also introduced the band to Vishal-Shekhar which led to Sanam Puri's first Bollywood break as a play back singer with songs like "Dhat Teri Ki"[17] from the movie Gori Tere Pyaar Mein and "Ishq Bulaava" from Hasee Toh Phasee.[18][19][20] The same year the band composed its first original composition "Main Hoon" for the Hollywood blockbuster The Amazing Spider-Man 2.[21][22][23][24]2010: Formation and first years In 2003, Venky and Samar were batchmates in Indian School, Muscat, both of them played guitar and planned to start a band so they got Samar's younger brother, Sanam Puri in the band to join as a singer. After completion of school, they all moved to India for college. Sanam & Samar moved to Delhi and got involved there in the college rock circuits . Sanam Puri started winning awards for his singing and Samar Puri started writing songs. Venky meanwhile in Bangalore took up bass playing with various bands. He sang a cappella in college and started performing swing/jazz and pop standards regularly at clubs. Venky met Keshav (who was the drummer in bands like Nerverek)through the college rock circuit and they formed an alternative rock outfit called ‘The Previous Band’. Venky used to travel to Chennai (where the band was based) write songs, rehearse and perform with them. Eventually 2 band members took off to in LA for music education and another member went to SAE in Byron Bay. Thus ended their short stint of ‘The Previous Band’.[10] In 2009, Samar and Sanam moved to Mumbai to pursue a music career. Keshav also took up a job with Furtados as their Brand manager for Zildjian,
