At the Ideas of India Summit 2026, hosted by ABP Network, celebrated playback icon Shreya Ghoshal delivered an inspiring and deeply personal full-length conversation under the theme ‘The New World Order.’ Known for her timeless voice and remarkable versatility, Shreya spoke candidly about rejection and the lesser-seen struggles behind success. She shared that even after achieving early recognition, the journey was far from effortless. “Rejection teaches you resilience,” she reflected, explaining how setbacks refined her craft rather than weakening her confidence. In a competitive industry where trends change rapidly, she emphasized the importance of consistency, riyaaz, and emotional authenticity. The discussion moved beyond music to explore how artists navigate evolving audience expectations in a digital-first world. Shreya highlighted how technology has democratized platforms but also intensified competition. She stressed that staying rooted in classical training while adapting to global sounds has helped her remain relevant across generations. Aligning with the summit’s broader vision of India’s growth toward 2047, she spoke about cultural confidence and how Indian music is gaining unprecedented global recognition. She described music as a bridge that connects hearts across borders, reinforcing India’s soft power in a transforming global order. The session was not just about melodies and milestones; it was about perseverance, self-belief, and evolving with dignity. Shreya’s reflections offered a powerful reminder that rejection is not a roadblock but a stepping stone toward artistic and personal excellence.
