Music and Youth
9X Jalwa join hands with Lays
MUMBAI: To provide an extra dose of entertainment to music lovers, 9X Jalwa has partnered with Ruffles Lays to present viewers with a special integrated show titled ‘Lays Magical 15’. In every episode of the show it will feature 15 blockbuster songs from Bollywood’s most prominent production banners like Rajshri Productions, Mukta Arts, Dharma Productions, RK Films etc.
Besides the popular tracks, Lays Magical 15 will also feature interesting trivia around the film and its music.
9X Media chief revenue officer (CRO) Pawan Jailkhani believes that the special show will provide the viewers with forever young flavour of Bollywood and help the brand reach out to its target consumers (15-24 age group).
He further says: “Being the country’s largest music television network, 9X Media through its five channels is a big influencer amongst the youth. Our innovative and compelling content has always resonated well with our viewers. Majority of the big marketers and advertisers engage with us through cutting edge brand integration campaigns featuring our animated characters.”
The show will air every Thursday at 7pm and repeats will be shown every Friday at 7pm.
MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
