Rohit Rampal, the founder and CEO of Hitman Solutions, a subsidiary of Hitman Group, said, “We chose the ‘Underground’ showcase to commemorate our 15th anniversary celebration as a tribute to the journey of our business and putting decades of hard work into it, which parallels the experiences of the bands involved.

“It’s a fitting combination, a celebration of successful indie artists and business ventures that were built from the ground up, and also providing a platform for newer independent vendors.”

Rohit added, “What’s special on this night, we’ve combined the Underground showcase together with our 15th anniversary which encompasses all of our services, from event management and production to showcase promotion, AV technical expertise, marketing and also design, incorporating all of our skills to deliver the best of the best for this occasion.

Rohit said he used to dabble in small events as a teenager, evolving from being an event design company to venturing into event production and investing in more equipment.

“Today, we’ve grown to offer a complete 360 event solutions package. It’s truly heartening to see how far we’ve come, and it reaffirms my belief that with the right attitude and the right people by your side, anything is possible.”

When asked what is in store for music fans in Malaysia and around the region, Rohit said, “If you’d asked me this question 15 years ago, I wouldn’t have dreamt of the incredible journey we’re on today. But here we are, and wherever we head next, one thing’s for sure, it’s going to be even bigger, more spectacular, and with a broader range of industries and event scales.

“Our main aim is to keep bringing amazing experiences to Malaysians, whether it’s rocking out at showcases, sharing special moments with loved ones, or adding that extra magic touch to corporate events, we’re all about creating memories that last.”
