Rao-de Haas composed music for the dance group Raga Mala and created an Indian string quartet in her piece 'Mukhani'.

She developed, together with Shubhendra, a collection of pieces for sitar and cello with percussion under the collective name 'East marries West'.

Saskia's contribution to Hindustani classical music through the Indian cello, an instrument fashioned out of the cello to enable it to be played in Indian classical concerts.

The Indian Cello was fashioned by the violin maker Eduard van Tongeren with five playing strings and ten sympathetic strings.

It is smaller in size than its western counterpart, thus enabling Saskia to sit on the floor while playing it.

The addition of an extra playing string on a higher octave and the ten sympathetic strings further enriches the tonal quality of the Indian cello.

On August 13, 2014 the project Music: Every child's birthright was launched by the Shubhendra and Saskia Rao Foundation.

The project includes a music education curriculum from nursery school up to high school level.
