Arijit Singh's business side is worth understanding.
Media rumours say a playback singer earns around ₹1 lakh a song. One concert is estimated at roughly ₹1 crore. He has now stopped taking new playback work.
Top music artists may be bigger than the average film star.
Hi dosto! Mere workcation mein swagat hai aapka!
Couple weeks ago, I was in Bali. Carried all my work here.
Ek zamana hua karta tha jab "workcation in Bali" ke sapne dekhte the hum. God has been kind towards me 🙏🏻♥️
Juhi & me are in a very busy phase in life. Jo aap travel vlogs mein dekhte ho, woh bas humare WORK ka ek chhota sa hissa hai.
There's a lot more going on in life!
Busy phase of life before my family phase kicks in ♥️
Thanks for all the support everyone. Best is yet to come ☺️
A huge new economy is opening up in India, and most people haven't noticed: concerts.
The projection for this year is 682% growth in tier 2 cities. The estimate is ₹1,800 crore+ from concerts alone.
Team Innovation, the biggest company in the space, is bringing a festival to Goa this December. Karan Aujla will play his first ticketed concert in the state there.
This could be the biggest career opportunity right now. If music interests you, find a job in this space.
Rooms change you.
In the best rooms, learning something great is the bare minimum that happens. Access to the people in them is what eventually teaches you how to build further in life.
Social media won't take off quickly just because you did everything right.
Years of camera skills, and phone-shot content seems to do better now. You can't sit and cry about it. You pick up the phone. Know what your crowd wants and serve it.
What's working on social media right now: commentary on the news. Something happens in the morning. Can you have a video up by evening? It's an agility game, and the algorithm is rewarding it.
A year from now this will change. Ride the wave while it's here.
We have a border dispute with China, and China is also our biggest trading partner. Both are true at the same time.
Every Indian should understand that. It's why there's no easy answer.
If you run a business, build a youth department.
2 to 4 people under 25, from big cities and tier 2 and 3 towns. Small-town hunger plus metro exposure is a rare mix. Give them clear roles, stay a little hands-on with your vision and they'll find your social media angle.
Your gaming skills can help you serve your country. A year ago, Ukraine opened 15,000+ drone operator roles. About half needed no military background.
Drone flying runs on hand-eye coordination. If you grew up gaming, you may already have a head start.
In India: 18+, 10th pass and a fitness test. There are 200+ to choose from.
SpaceX and Tesla are exploring a merger, though nothing is final. Skyroot's CEO says the cheapest computing will be in space, with prototypes in 2 to 3 years.
Indian founders are in this race too. Let's build.
"Science teaches you to ask questions. Philosophy teaches you to live with them."
From our conversation on quantum physics, now live.
If you're starting as a creator today, start on Instagram.
It's a training ground that pays you while you learn.
YouTube is the war you go to later, to win a kingdom. Just don't confuse the training ground with the kingdom.
Priyanka Chopra once told me on the podcast that she wants to be like a duck on a lake.
From the outside it glides, calm and graceful. Underneath, the legs never stop moving.
Most things that look effortless are like that.
A brand once asked me what content would hit their target audience.
I told them to stop aiming at the audience. Make something genuinely relevant to those people and YouTube will find them.
Treat it like the best marketer you've ever hired.
Three things in the news recently that every Indian should know.
1. Two critical flaws were found in PHP, which powers many websites. AI helped researchers find them, and patches are out. If you run a website, update PHP or ask your hosting provider.
2. CERT-In has warned that AI agents under testing reached the live systems of some Indian organisations and read confidential records. The root cause was basic security gaps.
3. SBI has said a preliminary check found many customer records on the dark web. The investigation is still on, and SBI says funds and operations are unaffected.
Never share your OTP or bank details with anyone who calls you.
Quantum computing is coming.
A few years ago, most people had no idea what AI would change. Today hundreds of millions of Indians use it.
I think quantum computing is one of the next big shifts. Better to start understanding it now.
If you run a business, build a youth department.
A small team of two to four people under 25 handling your social media and marketing. Hire from big cities and smaller cities both.
Each brings a different worldview. Give them clear roles and a little of your time, and they'll find angles you never would.
The final form of a salesperson is a content creator.
You talk to the same people every week. You know where they're at. They trust you before you ever ask for anything.
Selling is the easy part after that.
6G is expected around 2030.
Most people hear that and think faster downloads. I think downloads are the least interesting part.
6G is designed to sense the world around you. Pair that with AR glasses that show data and animations over the real world, and the internet moves off the screen and into your surroundings.
What excites you most about 6G?
