National, 11th November, 2025: Coke Studio Bharat, the platform that continues to redefine India’s contemporary soundscape, has released its newest track of Season 3, Thalaivan Oruvan. An anthem for those who rise with purpose, the song brings together the creative forces of composer Santhosh Narayanan, hip-hop innovators ofRO and SVDP, and the grandeur of the Indian Choral Ensemble. Powerful and unflinching, Thalaivan Oruvan channels the spirit of courage and conviction into a song that celebrates strength born from unity.
Thalaivan Oruvan separates itself from the idea of taking charge and finds its faith in the power of showing up. It’s built on the belief that leadership starts with courage and grows through community. Crafted as an anthem for today’s changemakers, the track rises from a quiet spark of resolve into a powerful call for collective uplift, reminding us that real strength is about igniting purpose in others.
Coke Studio Bharat continues to drive the diversity of music in India by bringing regional sounds onto a national platform without diluting their identity. Each season expands the definition of mainstream by enabling local voices and stories to connect with wider audiences. Thalaivan Oruvan is the latest example of that, showcasing that culture doesn’t have to be adapted to be embraced.
Santhosh Narayanan, Music Composer and Singer said, “Thalaivan Oruvan is a track that carries the sound and spirit of Tamil music. As the composer, my focus was on keeping the song honest in its emotion and powerful in its intent. We wanted every beat to speak, and Coke Studio Bharat gave us the right space to build that vision at scale, and without compromise.”
