In the year 2013, Ashvin co-founded Soupherb records, along with his friend and fellow artist/DJ – Ash Roy. In a span of 2, Soupherb records have built a reputation to be India’s finest underground dance music record label.

Apart from being label head, producer, DJ & A&R at Soupherb records, Calm Chor also represents Bass 9 records for A&R.
