RJ MANISH

The angry young man of SFM Bangalore, Manish Chandra, is the person who handles a large chunk of the responsibilities. He is the perfect guy to get job done, perfectly and quickly. Having completed two years with us, he is by far the guy who knows almost everything about radio, but his humbleness is what is appreciated in the office. He is the face of SFM in Bangalore with the evergreen OB show Hegide Nammuru. His presence on TV as a VJ is an added advantage to us since he is recognized as Manish or Manishanna where ever he goes. There has been no day when his OB shows have had less than 50 people turning up at the venue and half of them just to see who’s Manish.

Down to earth and always up to something new, he is the sprit behind the evening shows. He probably has done every show on SFM except the ladies special shows. His style of presentation and radio personality has helped the station to gain the crème-de-la-crème listenership. His initials state him as MCP but being a born ladies man he is darling of the station of course the listeners.
