Spykar’s Latest Podcast Features India’s Youth Culture Disruptors

Two Homegrown Disruptors Shaping India’s Youth Culture Come Together in Spykar’s Newest Podcast Episode

India’s youth culture is being shaped by the bold, the original, and the homegrown. The latest episode of It’s In Our Genes by Spykar, features another Indian disruptor rewriting the rules of creativity; Hoopr, India’s first automated music-licensing platform for creators and brands, worldwide.

image001

Hosted by Sanjay Vakharia, Co-Founder & CEO, Spykar, this episode is a fascinating future-forward conversation with Gaurav Dagaonkar and Meghna Mittal, Co-founders of Hoopr. The discussion goes beyond business and product to delve into the ideas that are shaping India’s growing creator economy, music rights, AI-driven content, genuine storytelling, and the power of homegrown innovation.

This episode brings two different yet aligned forces together – one in music and one in fashion. Spykar, a champion of fearless self-expression in fashion, and Hoopr, a pioneer enabling brands and creators to use music legally and confidently, share a common belief, individuality isn’t just encouraged, it’s essential. Spykar’s latest Daur Apna Hai campaign celebrates individuality, courage, and running your own race, values that perfectly mirror Hoopr’s mission of enabling creators to chart their own path in a rapidly evolving digital world.

“Youth culture evolves every single day and Spykar has always stood for bold, unapologetic self-expression,” said Sanjay Vakharia, “Spykar has always believed that fashion doesn’t exist in a silo

it evolves with culture, with technology, with sound. We’re now leaning into AI, tech-driven retail and India’s booming music ecosystem to understand how young creators express themselves. Partnering with innovators like Hoopr helps us stay ahead of that curve and build a future where creativity has no barriers.”

At a time when creators face takedowns, muted audio, copyright strikes and rising legal risks, Hoopr is leading an important movement: making access to copyright safe music licensing easy , scalable, and truly for Indian creators.

Gaurav shared, “India’s next creative revolution isn’t coming from big studios—it’s coming from bedrooms, gullies, and homegrown creators everywhere. Hoopr exists to unlock that potential by giving everyday storytellers access to safe, global-level music.”

“Licensed music isn’t just a technicality, it protects creativity,” further added Meghna. “When creators have access to legal, high-quality music, it empowers them to express themselves freely without fear.”

It’s In Our Genes is much more than just a podcast; it’s a cultural dialogue that celebrates the spirit of originality, champions India’s creators, and reminds us that ‘The Future Belongs to Those Who Create Their Own Way’.

R Madhavan Opens Up on Redefining Parenting to Match His Parents’ Impact IMDb Exclusive

De De Pyaar De 2 recently hit theatres, six years after the first film, bringing back Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh while introducing R. Madhavan in a pivotal role. In an exclusive conversation with IMDb, Devgn and Madhavan highlighted how their mutual understanding, improvisation, and effortless rapport elevated their performances. The duo also reflected on the film’s take on generational differences and the evolving societal acceptance of modern relationships.

Speaking about their long-standing rapport, Devgn said,

“Working with Maddy feels effortless—we’re more like friends. He’s a fabulous actor, and that always helps. The kind of rapport we share always makes the scene better because there’s a tuning, an understanding. I know what he’s going to do, he knows what I’m going to do, and it works out very well.”

Madhavan added,

“Ajay sir comes with a body of work that’s awe-inspiring. On the sets, his devotion to the subject gives you the freedom to work your way. There’s a scene where he doesn’t speak at all—it’s just Rakul and me in a dramatic conversation. Without saying a word, he delivers the impact the moment needs with just a turn, just silence. For me, that was like going to university.”

Reflecting on why De De Pyaar De 2 resonates with audiences today, Madhavan shared,

“At a time when these relationships were uncommon, they were often looked down upon. Back then, this film would have been radical. Today, differences don’t make a difference in relationships, but for older generations, acceptance is still a challenge. For me, learning how to be a modern father is difficult. The ways I was raised worked for me, but I can’t do the same with my son anymore. I’ve had to redefine the rules to have the same impact on him. This film, in a way, provides a perspective for families encountering similar situations, which makes it even more exciting.”

Devgn added, “Today’s youth believe in the right to make their own choices, and you cannot deny or defy that. In modern society, these conflicts exist, but there are multiple valid perspectives. Both points of view have merits and challenges, and that tension is what makes the story so interesting.”

Shangri-La Eros Hosts Michelin-Star Chef Riccardo Sculli for Sorrento Pop-Up Category: Food & Lifestyle

New Delhi, Nov 21st: Shangri-La Eros New Delhi will celebrate the vibrant flavours of Southern Italy this November as One Michelin-starred Chef Riccardo Sculli returns to Sorrento for an exclusive five-day culinary showcase from 26 to 30 November 2025. Drawing inspiration from the coast of Calabria -where land and sea meet in effortless harmony – the pop-up will offer guests a rare opportunity to experience Chef Sculli’s signature expressions of purity, provenance, and elegant simplicity on the plate.

Michelin-starred Chef Riccardo Sculli (1)

The award-winning Italian restaurant Sorrento – honoured with the prestigious Golden Q from Ospitalità Italiana – has long stood as the city’s benchmark for refined Italian cuisine. Renowned for its artisanal craftsmanship and devotion to natural, high-quality ingredients, the restaurant now invites Chef Sculli to reinterpret its culinary story. This collaboration introduces Delhi to a dining experience that is both comfortingly familiar and refreshingly contemporary, rooted in heritage yet expressed through a distinctly modern lens.

At his Michelin-starred restaurant Gambero Rosso, perched along Calabria’s azure coastline, Chef Sculli has reimagined Southern Italian cuisine with a philosophy grounded in integrity. For him, cooking begins not with recipes but with nature’s charm, what the fishermen bring in that morning, what the fields yield that day. The sea dictates the menu, and seasonality shapes the story. The outcome is a meal that carries the quiet confidence of restraint, dishes that linger like memory.

The curated set menu unfolds as a journey through Calabria’s coastal soul, beginning with choices such as Cold Tuna Tataki or a vibrant Marinated Vegetable Salad. The primi course showcases Chef Sculli’s mastery with offerings such as Risotto with Hokkaido Scallops or handmade Tortello filled with Ricotta and a surprising as well as succulent Aubergine reimagined with a modern take. For the second, guests may choose between Farm-Raised Chicken Breast with Organic Carrot and Ginger, Pan Seared Lamb Rack with Cauliflower and Hazelnut, or Eggplant Parmigiana featuring glazed eggplant, hazelnuts, and red onion for a refined vegetarian celebration. The experience concludes with indulgent dolce options, including a rich Hazelnut, Cocoa and Vanilla creation and the classic Coffee Panna Cotta – “Cappuccino”. 

Beyond the set menu, the à la carte selection presents Chef Sculli’s culinary signatures in their full glory. Standouts include Tiger Prawns adorned with Sea Urchin Emulsion and Burrata, Saffron Lobster with an unexpected pairing of Raspberries and Soya, Spaghetti with Prawns and Black Winter Truffle. The offerings span from Chilean Sea Bass with White Asparagus to Pan Seared Lamb Rack. Each dish is a testament to the chef’s commitment to letting premium ingredients shine through with thoughtful, minimal intervention.

Born in Toronto to Calabrian parents, Sculli’s journey began in his family’s kitchen and matured into a pursuit of culinary expression that bridges continents. His plates reveal his dual identity – the precision of a classically trained chef and the intuition of someone who still cooks with the sea breeze in mind. Each composition, from delicately cured fish and handmade pasta to contemporary seafood pairings, recalls his mastery of balance, lightness, and depth.

For his Delhi showcase, Chef Sculli presents a bespoke tasting and à la carte menu, crafted exclusively for Sorrento. 

Speaking about the collaboration, Abhishek Sadhoo, General Manager, Shangri-La Eros New Delhi, says

“Welcoming Chef Sculli to Sorrento is a celebration of shared values – of artistry, respect for produce, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence. Through this collaboration, we invite our guests to experience not just Italian cuisine, but a way of life defined by beauty and authenticity.”

The set menu and a la carte menu are available for Lunch and Dinner. The set menu is priced at INR 5000 plus taxes, while diners looking for a more layered, indulgent experience can choose the wine-accompanied menu at INR 7500 plus taxes.
