During my music career, I observed that harmonium did not have a universal acceptance from Indian Classical Vocalists due to what was called as the 'tempered' tuning. As against this, the string instruments such as the Sarangi or the Violin were considered more acceptable for accompaniment. When I made enquiries about the details of the so called 'tempered' tuning and it's differences from 'Indian Classical' tuning, to my surprise, I found very little script, and that too was inconsistent.
I therefore had decided to plunge into this research myself at a suitable time in my life, which happened in 2004, when I gave up my pharmaceutical career and started research work on shrutis. Fortunately, the research work and it's applications are now getting known in many parts of the world and are being considered revolutionary.
