Krishna and R. K. Shriramkumar is the co-founder of a project called "Shabda" which is aimed at creating an online archive of the various aspects pertaining to the Indian Performing Arts.

The initiative recognizes that a lot of valuable knowledge content on Indian performing arts is either unavailable or not in the proper form of documentation, and aims to make it otherwise.

The scope of Shabda in the present performing arts scene includes videography of lectures by eminent artists, scholars and researchers, widening the scope of content availability through internet and using technology to provide high quality content and preservation to avoid inaccuracy in documentation and retrieval.

Shabda has conducted 12 lectures across 2 day-long events held at Kalakshetra, Chennai and Bangalore Gayana Samaja in 2011 and 2012, respectively.

[6] H. K. Venkatram was the recipient of the prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi Award for the year 2023 for his contribution to carnatic violin.

He received the award from President Droupadi Murmu at an investiture ceremony in Vigyan Bhawan on 6 March 2024.
