From behind the console to the name on the poster

Before his name went on film posters, Sachin Sanghvi learned the craft as a programmer and arranger. He was part of the teams that turned other composers' melodies into finished recordings. He and Jigar Saraiya were long-time assistants to Rajesh Roshan and Pritam, and they programmed and arranged music for composers including A. R. Rahman, Amit Trivedi, Anu Malik, Nadeem–Shravan and Sandesh Shandilya.

Both men are originally from Gujarat and settled in Mumbai. That regional root would later shape a whole strand of their catalogue.

Jigar met Sachin through Amit Trivedi while assisting Pritam, and it was Pritam who suggested they work as a pair. In 2009 they signed their first credit as Sachin–Jigar, a guest-composed song for the film Life Partner.

Pritam then recommended them to Remo D'Souza. In 2011, F.A.L.T.U became their first complete film album, and its party anthem “Char Baj Gaye” put the new name in circulation. The same year, “Saibo” from Shor in the City showed a gentler, melodic side.

The next four years were a working apprenticeship at full speed: OMG – Oh My God!, Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya and Ajab Gazabb Love in 2012. The following year brought ABCD: Any Body Can Dance, Shuddh Desi Romance, Go Goa Gone, Ramaiya Vastavaiya, I, Me Aur Main and Himmatwala. Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania came in 2014.

In 2015 the thriller Badlapur gave them one of their defining ballads. “Jeena Jeena”, sung by Atif Aslam, topped the Indian iTunes chart, and the album drew a Mirchi Music Award nomination. The same year they also scored ABCD 2 and Hero.

In a 2015 interview with The Times of India, the duo argued that the right films could change the face of Gujarati cinema, and they backed that up with their catalogue. Bey Yaar (2014) was their first Gujarati feature. Wrong Side Raju (2016), featuring “Gori Radha Ne Kado Kaan”, belonged to a film that went on to win the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Gujarati.

Love Ni Bhavai (2017) gave Gujarati listeners “Vhalam Aavo Ne” in Jigardan Gadhavi's voice. Chor Bani Thangaat Kare (2017) and Chaal Jeevi Laiye! (2019) carry songs credited to Sachin Sanghvi himself as singer. The Gujarati line has continued with Kehvatlal Parivar and Aum Mangalam Singlem (2022), Kutch Express (2023) and Mom Tane Nai Samjay (2025), much of it written with lyricist Niren Bhatt.

Stree (2018) began their longest-running partnership, with Maddock Films' horror-comedy universe. On “Milegi Milegi”, “Kamariya” and “Nazar Na Lag Jaaye”, the official credits list Sachin–Jigar among the vocalists. That pattern continues through the franchise.

Bhediya (2022) brought Arijit Singh's “Apna Bana Le”. Stree 2 (2024) produced “Aaj Ki Raat”, which won Madhubanti Bagchi the Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer. The Stree 2 album was nominated for both the Filmfare Award for Best Music Album and the IIFA Award for Best Music Direction. Thamma followed in October 2025, with Sachin–Jigar again credited on vocals.

In 2018 the duo set up White Noise Studios, a company intended to launch new talent and open doors into the music industry. The idea shows in their credits. For the 2023 series Jee Karda they brought in independent artists such as Maanuni, IP Singh and The Rish, and in the same Rolling Stone India interview they spoke about a theatre musical in development.

In June 2024 the pair played their first shows in Australia and New Zealand, in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland, with singers Charu Semwal and Divya Kumar.

2026 opened with Ikkis, Sriram Raghavan's war drama, released on 1 January. Sachin–Jigar composed the background score, and the songs, including Arijit Singh's “Sitaare”, are credited to their collective White Noise Collectives. In May came Chand Mera Dil for Dharma Productions: eight songs with Amitabh Bhattacharya, led by a title track in Faheem Abdullah's voice and a second version sung by Shreya Ghoshal.
