Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy are Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa. They are among the finest music composers in India. They have teamed together to provide music for several Indian Films. Some of their famous works includes scores for movies such as Mission Kashmir (2000), Dil Chahta Hai (2001), Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003), Bunty Aur Babli (2005), Don (2007) and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2006), Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute To Love (2007), Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (2007), Heyy Babyy (2007), and most recently for Johny Gaddar (2007).

Shankar Mahadevan is the voice of the SEL. He has the depth, the talent, the experience and consistency. Ehsaan Noorani is the Lead Guitarist, Riff king and the Rhythm rocker. Loy Mendonsa is the pianist, who comes out with his large instruments, melodies and apart from that, great support which adds to the essence of the brand. They are not new and are known for their new brand of sound, rhythm and melody, something that is fresh, hummable, intense, energizing and entertaining.

Each member of this trio brings his own unique talents and experiences to the group, combining the Carnatic and Classical Indian vocal tradition (Shankar), Wester Rock (Ehsaan) and a deep understanding of fusion including a virtual mastery over the Electronic Synthesizer (Loy). They continue a tradition quite common in Bollywood Music, that of partnerships between music composers contributing and pooling their individual strengths, sometimes combining deep knowledge of Hindustani (North Indian) or Carnatic (South Indian) classical music and technical expertise as composers and orchestral arrangers.

Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy probably represent the first 'trio' of music composers to entertain Bollywood audiences with their chart-topping music.
