Didier Weiss is another dedicated Aurovilian. He owned a top class sound studio in France before moving to Auroville. He worked in the solar kitchen, the community’s collective dining hall, for a few years. During special events, he would be organising sound for the community.

Eventually, he decided to go full time at the work he was good at, and set up Sound Wizard to design professional studios. As India’s rich list grew, creating a demand for well designed home theatres, Sound Wizard has greatly expanded to high-end home entertainment segment as well. The company counts Oscar winner A.R. Rahman among its clients for his latest film music production facility.
