Navaratna (a Sanskrit word for nine precious gems) is conceptualized by Ila to showcase and salute the secular and festive spirit of India that has embraced various cultures and religions from all over the world. For centuries, India has celebrated cultural diversity and continues to inspire the world to live harmoniously and peacefully. India truly personifies the Sanskrit phrase "Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam", meaning "The whole world is one single family".

The album 'Navaratna' consists of nine songs based on thousands of year's old indian classical Raagas (melodies) and showcases nine major festivals of India from various regions and religions. The musical arrangement of the album reflects the very essence of these regions of India.

"A.R. Rahman is not only the executive producer of 'Navaratna', but he is my mentor. It is different experience all together to work with Mr. Rahman, he is a legend. He stitches the music together like no one else, there is so much learning which happens when I associate with him"
