Anurag Saikia, the composer behind acclaimed scores for series like 'Panchayat' and hits such as 'Ishq Hai,' has entered a significant global publishing pact with Warner Chappell Music (WCM). This arrangement marks a notable moment for Indian composers navigating international music spheres, with WCM set to represent Saikia's existing body of work and forthcoming creations across major world markets. The deal underscores WCM's recent establishment of direct operations within India, facilitating on-the-ground artist agreements.
This agreement is positioned to broaden Saikia's reach into avenues such as sync licensing, film, television, and international songwriting collaborations. It arrives amidst a heightened focus from global music publishers on India's creative talent pool, evidenced by increased on-site presence beyond recorded music operations.

Saikia's engagement with WCM follows his participation in the company's songwriting camp in Las Vegas last year, an event that fostered collaboration with international creatives as part of their global program. This partnership is anticipated to amplify the international visibility of Saikia's music and forge new opportunities within global media landscapes.
