A few days ago, I conducted a 100-piece British orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to perform India’s National Anthem at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, London. This is the largest orchestra ever to record India's National Anthem and it is spectacular! The "Jaya He" at the end gave me goosebumps. Felt great as an Indian composer :-)

I am sharing this historic recording with every one of you this Independence Day - use it, share it, watch it, but with respect :-) It is yours now. Jai Hind.
Happy #independenceday #Rickykej

While in Bhutan earlier this month, it was great to spend time with former judge of the Supreme Court of India - Arjan Kumar Sikri. He was also Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. A man of massive achievements and even greater humility and compassion.
Justice Sikri was a part of the Bhutan Compassionate Leadership Forum.. and we had a wonderful time with his lovely family. I was privileged to discuss a variety of topics with him and to learn. He also has a great sense of humor!
Hats off to my sister Asmita Satyarthi  for all the immense hard work, leadership and vision for Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion , and for bringing all of us together.

Je tiens à remercier le Premier ministre @Keir_Starmer pour sa contribution au renforcement de la relation franco-britannique, son engagement au sein de la coalition des volontaires pour l’Ukraine, ainsi qu’à la relance de la relation entre le Royaume-Uni et l’Union européenne.

Le travail accompli ensemble pour la défense, l’énergie nucléaire, l’espace et l’innovation, en particulier lors de notre sommet franco-britannique de juillet dernier, témoigne de cet engagement.

Nous poursuivrons sur cette voie au bénéfice de nos peuples et de l’Europe.

One breath, one purpose 🧘‍♂️

In the heart of the Sundarbans, conservation extends beyond protecting forests—it strengthens communities.

Forest personnel of the 24-Parganas (South) Division and local fishermen came together for a shared Yoga session, embracing wellness, harmony, and collective responsibility.

Bound by a common commitment to healthy lives and a resilient ecosystem, they demonstrated that caring for people and caring for nature go hand in hand. 🌿🌊🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

In Kenya :-) #EkPedMaaKeNaam. Honored to plant a tree with Dr. Deborah Mlongo Barasa (Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Kenya) and Dr. Yasmine Fouad (Chief of the UNCCD & former Minister of Environment, Egypt). This was in observance of the Desertification and Drought Day 2026. @UNCCD

Excellent. @UNCCD @yasminefoud

Interacted with tribal community members from Nandurbar, Maharashtra, and highlighted the importance of their active participation in the GoI–UNDP–GEF Landscape Restoration Project.

Inspired by Smt Savitabai Pawra, President’s Award winner, whose native seed bank is helping conserve indigenous biodiversity and strengthen community-led ecological restoration.

Together, we are building resilient landscapes and sustainable livelihoods.

Had a wonderful meeting with PM Keir Starmer in Evian. The last year has been outstanding as far as India-UK relations are concerned. The trade deal has opened many avenues of economic cooperation. Today’s talks focused on how to add even more momentum to India-UK ties.

Landed in Mombasa, Kenya today and had the absolute honor of flying alongside former US Secretary of State @JohnKerry. He is one of the world's most impactful environmental champions, here for the "Our Oceans Conference." @OurOceanOOC

It was a proud moment for me as I arrive as a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for "Desertification and Drought Day.", along with the UNCCD. @UNCCD

Secretary Kerry is incredibly humble, flying commercial. We spoke about our shared friend, the legendary folk singer Peter Yarrow. We had earlier met in 2016 (when i had long hair!), and here are the photos. @PeterYarrowPPM

With the KING of Bhutan! His Majesty King Jigme Khesar.

A huge honor to participate in the Bhutan Compassionate Leadership Forum alongside my dear friend Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi (always a privilege to be a part of anything he does) and to spend time with His Majesty King Jigme Khesar and Her Royal Highness Princess Sonam Dechan Wangchuck.

We often discuss economic growth and development, but Bhutan reminds us that the ultimate purpose is human and environmental wellbeing. Glad to see this partnership between Bhutan and the Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion.

Hats off to my sister Asmita Satyarthi for all the immense hardwork and vision for Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion.
Was also great to meet former Judge of the Supreme Court of India - Justice Arjan Kumar Sikri.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Delighted to welcome my dear friend @NarendraModi. From Nice today to G7 Evian and VivaTech in Paris, this seventh visit reflects the exceptional strength of the France-India partnership.

We are opening a new chapter for talent, investment and concrete solutions for our people.
