"The Most Important Thing About Art is Freedom," says AR Rahman at IGF London 2025

Oscar-winning composer on scent cinema, AI, and the reinvention of Indian music culture LONDON, June 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a deeply personal and expansive conversation at the final day of India Global Forum London 2025 at Taj St. James' Court, Academy Award-winning composer AR Rahman urged artists, institutions, and governments alike to nurture creative freedom and cultural innovation. "In cinema for over 40 years now, I was bored with the same rectangle form," Rahman confessed. "It's just seeing and hearing—what else can we do?" That question sparked Le Musk, Rahman's pioneering immersive project which brings scent, touch, and narrative together. "The idea came from my ex-wife who loved perfumes. I thought, why not create a theatre experience with perfume and haptics?" Now coming to London for a year, Le Musk is more than a film—it's an artistic manifesto, showcasing Rahman's continued defiance of convention. The fireside chat turned from personal to philosophical, as Rahman explored the urgent need to preserve traditional Indian music, asking: "Where is the next shehnai player? Where is the next Bismillah Khan Sahib? Unless we find them, recognize them, and let the world see them—they'll vanish. That's where the inspiration for JHAALA came in." JHAALA, Rahman's initiative to platform and preserve Indian classical arts, seeks to make the invisible visible—through technology, talent discovery, and global exposure. On artificial intelligence, Rahman struck a balanced note of caution and curiosity: "AI is like Frankenstein—it just steals from human experiences, human knowledge, human art, and then puts together multiple thoughts. It's copied from us. And now it gets faster, because we feel with emotion—and it just runs on data." "We should use it for what it is—for speeding up the mundane. Don't fear it, use it." Beyond technology, Rahman called for a national cultural renaissance: "If you look at South Korea and K-pop, it emerged in the last 10 years because of government involvement and economic growth. It was a collective movement. That needs to happen with Indian music too. We need to reinvent the wheel." Throughout the session, one sentiment rang clear: true art is unbound by formats, expectations, or institutions. "The most important thing about art is freedom," Rahman stated. "You can't do that with a film studio." He ended with a reminder of music's enduring universality: "Music transcends religion. It heals. It connects. It's a shared soul." IGF London 2025's closing conversations made one thing certain: in a world fractured by algorithms and agendas, it is artists like Rahman who restore harmony—not just in sound, but in society. The forum forms part of IGF London 2025. With over 100+ speakers, 1000 participants, and events across iconic venues in London, IGF London 2025 encompasses a spectrum of topics - from technology and trade to culture and commerce. This year's edition marks a powerful milestone - a decade since Prime Minister Narendra Modi's landmark 2015 visit to the UK, and the two nations have finalised the long-awaited Free Trade Agreement. IGF London is the first major international platform to celebrate and analyse this historic achievement, unlock new opportunities that emerge from its conclusion, and shape the next phase of UK-India collaboration. About India Global ForumIndia Global Forum tells the story of contemporary India. The pace of change and growth India has set itself is an opportunity for the world. IGF is the gateway for businesses and nations to help seize that opportunity.

Try TikTok's latest product obsession: Swimsuit dresses. This Lands' End style comes in a variety of prints. $145 at Lands' End Forget skin-baring bikinis and cheeky thongs—this summer, it's all about the tankini and swimsuit dress. Many TikTok users have swapped their usual swimwear staples for more comfortable pieces that offer ample coverage—without skimping on style. Among the most viral: The Lands' End Tie Mini Dress Swimsuit. My verdict?

Shop at Eight Sleep When the world's top tech creators—not exactly a group associated with getting great sleep—all swear by one single mattress cover for improving their sleep quality, you can trust it's an effective product. Such is the case with the AI-powered Eight Sleep Pod 5 Ultra, which has received glowing endorsements from figures such as Bryan Johnson and Elon Musk My verdict?

Don't be fooled by the mask's clay-like consistency; once activated with water, the formula will create fluffy, carbonated bubbles on your face, which will work to deeply cleanse pores. My verdict? If this mask is half as effective as it is fascinating to look at in its peak-bubble form, it'll be a worthwhile buy. Self-Cleaning Cat Litter Box Amazon shoppers (and TikTok users alike) love this smart little box for its self-cleaning capabilities and dome shape, which helps to conceal any stinky scents better than standard litter boxes. $116 at Amazon Tired of cleaning your cat's litter box? Well with this quirky Self-Cleaning Litter Box, you can skip the pesky, even stinky chore and let this spaceship-like dome do all the heavy lifting (read: scooping) for you. My verdict?

Is there an organic discourse surrounding individual items? Are there product reviews from shoppers that can support the hype surrounding a popular TikTok product?

AI is transforming Indian call centers. What does it mean for workers?

GURGAON, India — For three years, Kartikeya Kumar hesitated before picking up the phone, anticipating another difficult conversation with another frustrated customer. The call center agent, now 29, had tried everything to eliminate what a colleague called the 'Indian-ism' in his accent. He mimicked the dialogue from Marvel movies and belted out songs by Metallica and Pink Floyd. Relief finally arrived in the form of artificial intelligence.
