Aayush began performing in 2009 as a soloist and in duets with his brother sitarist Lakshay Mohan.[21] After listening to the Jugalbandi of Aayush Mohan & Lakshay Mohan in 2012, Pandit Ravi Shankar decided to launch them in the USA under his foundation.[22] [23][4][2]

Notable performances  :

Reviewing his performance with his brother in July 2012 at the Kamani Auditorium Delhi, The Hindu wrote: "They chose Miyan Ki Malhar to present alap, jod and jhala and impressed with their serious musical attitude and no-nonsense approach. Their treatment of the raga showed maturity and the kanhda component was accorded due importance with its trade mark avrohatmak andolit Komal Gandhar."[34]

In October 2013, Aayush collaborated with Grammy Award Winner Pt Vishwa Mohan Bhatt for "The String Trinity " concert at Kamani Auditorium, New Delhi in a trio which also had his brother Lakshay Mohan on the Sitar.[35]
