Shammi Narang

Veteran announcer whose voice is used for Delhi Metro announcements.

“Today, we took Rushaan on his very first Metro ride. He was equal parts amazed and bewildered to hear Dadu's voice echoing through the train… a voice he knows, but in a place he had never heard it before. A rather special moment for us.”
NDTV
“I may not travel on these Metro trains forever… but I take immense pride in knowing that my voice will travel from one generation to another. From me to my little grandson, Rushaan, and perhaps one day to his grandchildren… and beyond.”
