The Indian Music Academy (IMA), a CSR initiative of Art And Artistes (I) Pvt. Ltd., is the 1st body of musicians in India. Founder Patron Sangeet Martand Padma Vibhushan Pandit Jasraj along with 12 other patrons laid down the guiding principles and key objectives of the IMA, and it was launched by the then President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam in 2006. It has since then worked towards promoting all genres of Indian Music and musicians and also, relentlessly towards the welfare of the musicians.
Art And Artistes, since the last 14 years has emerged to be the only Multi Media Music Company of India, producing world class IPs including Jalsa, Tiranga, Panchtatva, Indian Music Academy Awards, Golden Voice Golden Years, Jai Hind, and many others. GSEAMS, with its expertise of conceptualizing and executing larger than life entertainment properties has come together to create this prestigious platform.
The 1st IMA Marathi Music Awards, at the prestigious Ravindra Natya Mandir, saw a glittering set of performances of Musical Maestros such as Hariharan and Vaishali Samant, scintillating Dance Performances by Amruta Khanvilkar, Anusha Dandekar and many others.

The response to the 1st edition of the IMA Marathi Music Awards was overwhelming. IMA Awards have been accepted as the only Awards given by Musicians themselves, and therefore have a great emotional value and prestige associated in the hearts of the entire musical world. This success has been possible also due to the experience brought in by Arjun and Kartik. It’s a dream come true, to have the numero uno Marathi Channel Star Pravah, as our channel partner and supporting us. We thank all our partners and hope that we can continue to bridge the gap of producing Rich Indian Music along with main-stream mass media.”

News18 India launches Command Centre war explainer with Arya
New show shifts from debates to decoding global conflicts and impacts
MUMBAI: News18 India has rolled out a new war-focused programme, Command Centre, featuring Gaurav Arya, as it looks to offer viewers a sharper, more grounded take on global conflicts amid rising tensions in West Asia.
Positioned as an “insider war room”, the show moves away from conventional panel debates and instead focuses on explaining military developments, decoding strategy and connecting global events to their everyday impact, from fuel prices to economic shifts.
The format leans heavily on visuals and data. The studio has been designed like a command hub, complete with large LED war maps, real-time graphics and an alert system to track developments as they unfold.
At the centre of it all is Arya, who brings his military background to simplify complex war strategies for viewers. His signature line, “Seedhi baat samjhiye”, anchors the show’s promise of clarity over noise.
News18 India managing editor Jyoti Kamal said, “Command Centre, featuring Major Gaurav Arya is designed to deliver accurate insights and a clear perspective on how evolving conflicts impact everyday life, from household budgets to national security. With expert voices analysing every development in real time, the show goes beyond headlines to decode what’s happening now, what it means, and what could come next.”
Echoing the intent, Gaurav Arya added, “In times of war, confusion is the biggest threat. With News18 India’s Command Centre, we are bringing viewers inside the war room, decoding strategies, tracking every escalation, and explaining, in the simplest terms, what it means for India and for every household. Seedhi baat samjhiye, this is where you understand not just what is happening, but what happens next.”
The weekday show will air in the afternoon slot and will also feature Gaurav Shukla, adding to its editorial depth.
With its mix of analysis, visuals and a clear focus on impact, the show reflects a broader shift in news consumption. Viewers are no longer just watching events unfold, they are looking to understand what those events mean for them.
