- Ram Mere (2025): Arranged multi-vocal tracking for this seasonal ceremonial single featuring Bimal Bhanot, Zakir, and Sahil Sharma.
British diaspora engagements
In December 2024, Devendra traveled to the United Kingdom on a Youth Mobility Scheme visa. His time in Britain provided firsthand exposure to the UK's vibrant British Asian recording ecosystem, including contemporary diaspora club sounds and international live staging.
Following his initial period in the UK, he returned to India in February 2026 to coordinate studio projects and attend to family matters, returning to the UK in March 2026 to continue his transnational creative work.
