Episode 39: Jaipur Lit Festival Producer Sanjoy Roy: How Arts Matter in the Age of AI

Much of the Jaipur Literature festival started as an accident, JLF Producer and Teamwork Arts Managing Director Sanjoy Roy tells Say Again podcast host Amrita Tripathi in this week's episode. As a reporter who used to cover the festival and a writer whose first novel was commissioned at JLF, Tripathi asks Roy to share more behind the scenes details, 'spicy' gossip and more about the iconic Lit Fest that's been called the Mahakumbh of Indian literature. Roy shares what ended up being a watershed moment, with Deepak Chopra connecting to see if Oprah might be a fit! Even now in the age of ascendant AI there's a huge power and tangible and intangible impact of the arts, Roy shares, also connecting the dots of his own journey, from working with SRK, Manoj Bajpai and other stalwarts, work with the Salaam Baalak Trust, to becoming an "entrepreneur of the arts".
