Descriptiontext

Svaram (legal name: SVARAM Musical Instruments & Research) is a handcrafted musical instrument manufacturer and research studio founded in 2003 in Auroville, Tamil Nadu, India. The company designs, researches, and produces acoustic sound healing instruments including the Sonorium, Plate Bells tuned in Just Intonation, Granite Sound Stones (hand-carved from naturally resonant Tamil Nadu granite), Orbits (planetary frequency instruments based on Hans Cousto's Cosmic Octave), New Waves, Sonic Chi Circle / Five Element Sounds, and Sonic Pyramids. Its underlying technology rests on proprietary tuning systems — Just Intonation for natural harmonic ratios, planetary frequency mappings, and sacred-geometry-informed sound design — combined with handcraft manufacturing using materials such as solid brass and naturally resonant stone.

Svaram operates a multi-channel business model spanning direct-to-consumer e-commerce (store.svaram.org with INR/USD/EUR support), a physical showroom at its Auroville craft campus, custom sound garden and architectural installations for hospitality and corporate clients, sound healing sessions, and a global retail network of 255+ retailers across 33 countries. Educational programs are delivered through the SVARAM Academy. Pricing is unit-based, ranging from approximately ₹693 for basic accessories to over ₹206,976 for premium instruments, with custom projects requiring 50% advance payment. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and operates with 11–50 employees and no disclosed external funding.
