Mishra's Pledge for Flood Relief Concerts

Separately, the composer has been in the news for a charitable commitment tied to the devastating floods that struck Assam and Nepal. Mishra announced on Instagram that he would organise and perform concerts in both regions, with the entire proceeds directed towards flood relief and the people affected by the disaster.

In his post, he wrote, 'My heart is heavy seeing what's happening. So I have made a decision. I WILL PERFORM A CONCERT IN #NEPAL AND A CONCERT IN #ASSAM. EVERY SINGLE PENNY. WILL GO TOWARDS FLOOD RELIEF AND THE PEOPLE AFFECTED. I GIVE YOU MY WORD. Announcement soon.' He added in the caption, 'Stay strong, will do whatever I can individually, Har Har Mahadev.'

Background: The Assam Floods of 2026

Assam was struck by devastating floods beginning 19 July 2026, following a first spell of intense rainfall around 28 June 2026. The second and more severe wave arrived on 19 July, triggered by monsoonal downpours and upstream cloudbursts that submerged entire villages at the crisis's peak. Mishra's pledge to channel concert proceeds towards relief adds an activist dimension to a career largely defined by its musical milestones.

An official announcement on the concert dates is expected soon, according to the composer's post.
