HOUSTON: Houston based musical group GlobalDesis, which was founded in 2014 by Sankalp Srivastava and Neha Saini recently conducted an online talent hunt show called Internet Idol. The idea of this event originated in Sankalp’s mind when he was unable to attend the second round of a famous talent hunt show being conducted in New Jersey while he was in India. It came across to him to have an event which is completely online so that anyone who has access to internet and a mobile camera can participate.Winning amount for this event was $500 to encourage upcoming artists.
