Warner Music India unveils new record label ‘Maati’
Mumbai: As part of its ongoing efforts to provide a mainstream platform for indigenous talent, Warner Music India on Monday announced the launch of a new record label, Maati.
The label will feature artists from across the length and breadth of the country, who have been discovered by Warner Music India and represent their regions’ local music fused with their unique styles, said the company in a statement.
“In India, folk music emerges from local culture and reflects the local way of life. Pop music inspired by folk melodies has arguably created some of the best music in recent years. Yet original folk artists rarely receive any recognition for their great work,” stated Warner Music India managing director Jay Mehta. “With Maati, we aim to provide a national platform for Indian folk music, its purest forms, and its artists, in a sustainable ecosystem where they can showcase their raw, unadulterated talent. The rustic authenticity of their music is an amazing experience that we’d like to bring to more mainstream audiences,” Mehta added.
The label’s first single ‘Runak Jhunak’ is a Rajasthani folk fusion song from emerging artist Kanika that will be released on 22 October. It will be followed by a Pahadi track ‘Phul Khilala,’ performed by Garhwali singer Priyanka Maher, shared the music company.

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
