Anand Mahindra, the prominent industrialist, recently expressed his admiration for the remarkable performance of nine-year-old Indian-origin singer Pranysqa Mishra on America’s Got Talent (AGT). Sharing his thoughts on social media, Mahindra emphasized that much of America’s talent is emerging from India.
“For the second time, within the past two weeks, a young—VERY young—woman of Indian origin has rocked the stage at America’s Got Talent with raw talent that is simply astonishing. With skills acquired in indigenous American genres of music. Rock & Gospel. Pranysqa Mishra is just NINE years old,” he wrote.
In his heartfelt post on X, Mahindra celebrated Mishra’s rendition of Tina Turner’s classic ‘River Deep, Mountain High,’ which left the audience and judges spellbound. He added, “What on earth is going on?? For the second time within the past two weeks, a young–VERY young–woman of Indian origin has rocked the stage at @AGT with raw talent that is simply astonishing. With skills acquired in indigenous American genres of music. Rock & Gospel. Pranysqa Mishra is just NINE years old. Damn, I had tears too when they called her grandmother. Yes, America’s got talent indeed. And a lot of it is coming from India…”
