At the beginning of the video, Palash Sen said that he is an independent singer and a songwriter. Referring to several other independent musicians, Palash Sen said that we do not belong to any films or any labels and are completely independent. Palash Sen believes that there should be a conversation about the struggles that independent musicians are going through these days.

Later, Palash Sen said that music is very important in one's life. Right from weddings to outings, music plays a very important role in every occasion, believes Palash Sen. He feels that unfortunately there is no music industry as such in India which is why the needs of the people working with music are never discussed. 

Palash Sen further said that he was reaching out to the people who are working in the music industry whose only source of income is music, like the lyric writers, people working for studios etc. He urged them to come together and form a music industry which is currently not present in the country. Palash Sen thinks that the entertainment industry will take some time to start functioning normally.
