Born into a family of musicians, Poorvi Mehta has inherited her talent for music from her parents. She began to take lessons from her mother Smt. Manju Mehta, a celebrated Sitarist, from a very young age. With sheer perseverance, Poorvi Mehta has matured into a very fine Sitarist and is now recognised as a 'A' Grade Sitarist of All India Radio & Doordarshan.

Her virtuoso performances and concerts include the National programme of music of AIR, the Tuesday night concert, Baiju Sangeet Samaroh and the prestigious Pt. Omkarnath Thakur Samaroh organised by Gujarat State Sangeet Natak Academy. She also has performed at various concerts across India.

At present, Poorvi is associated with the Saptak School of Music as a faculty member. When not engrossed in music, it is English Literature that interests her and Poorvi has completed her M. Phil in the subject from the Gujarat University.
