It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic news of the sudden passing of our CTO and cherished colleague, Manan Vohra. Manan was a brilliant, inspirational, and visionary leader, a loyal colleague, and a dear friend to many of us at Downtown Music. He was instrumental in driving our digital transformation and innovation, and his legacy will live on in the products and services that he helped create and improve.  He will be missed by all of us who had the privilege of working with him and knowing him. On behalf of the entire Downtown Music family, we extend our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to Manan's family. https://lnkd.in/edRBSepv
