The Late Mohammed Rafi Sahab being the embodiment of Indian playback, the institute certainly bases its roots into his life philosophy. This extends into the belief, planning, courses, performances, and overall working of the institute.

Initially, an online institute, MRMI aspires to create an exclusive experience for the students.

The Baton

Mohammed Fuzail Rafi

The Late Mohammed Rafi Sahab’s ideals, virtue, and dreams are now taken ahead by the third generation successor Fuzail Rafi, Late Mohammed Rafi Sahab’s grandson.

Aspirations for MRMI are high, dreams are big and the commitment to accomplish them is uncompromising.

Versatility is one word for MRMI that Fuzail looks up to. He would be spearheading the institute and resonate with Mohammed Rafi Sahab’s ideals with the students.

What started as an act of realization, shaped up into an organization. Not only in India but in the U.S, where Fuzail currently resides, devoted admiration about Late Mohammed Rafi Sahab from his admirers provoked him to ponder upon the idea of creating something so mammoth that it can be a true dedication to the master. That is how the whole concept of MRMI churned out, which Fuzail believes, would be a genuine return to the film industry and a true homage to his grandfather.

A BBA Degree holder academically, Fuzail is currently pursuing his Masters in Finance in the United States. His academic knowledge is backed by a voluminous on-field experience in the overall understanding of running a profitable business while respecting everyone’s needs and requirements. He is absolutely concrete in his perseverance and resolution towards shaping MRMI as one of the leading institutes on a global platform.

A little dream, an ounce of thought, a splash of vivid imagination, a pinch of determination – together have created one of the most splendiferous projects of recent times, MRMI, which has manifested to the fore, illuminating millions of lives, enriching them with music.

The Proud Father

Mohammed Shahid Rafi

The baton has been handed over to Fuzail by his father Shahid Rafi, the maestro’s son, who is living the dream of keeping his father’s name alive beyond eternity through his own son’s vision.

Shahid Rafi is a name that reverberates with the Indian film music industry, not only because of his late father’s illustrious history; but also due to his own mark knows no introduction. He is the founder of the notable Mohammed Rafi Academy; and now with MRMI, Shahid’s divination knows no bounds.

Felicitously proud of Fuzail’s initiative and extremely touched by his gesture towards his grandfather, Shahid’s moist eyes say it all and words are scarce when speaking about MRMI.

For Shahid, determination and aspiration are limitless and realism is within reach too. With a biopic on Mohammed Rafi Sahab already in the pre-production stage, Shahid is delighted on the wish manifestations as the Universe seems to be endowing.
