Girish Talwar and Debayan Deb on OML, NH7 Weekender, Rebellion and India’s Music Business | Cyrus Says
Q: Spotify pays royalties directly to artists every time a listener streams their song. Is that always the case?
Spotify generally pays rights holders such as labels, distributors or publishers rather than directly to individual artists, depending on their registration and distribution setup.

Q: What advice would you give patients considering eye surgery for the first time?
Understand the procedure, set realistic expectations about recovery and vision, and choose a surgeon who emphasizes clear communication and personalized care.
Eye Surgery, Ironman, Superbikes & Building His Own Legacy | Cyres Mehta | Cyrus Says
Q: What is the difference between LASIK and SMILE, and why is SMILE changing the field?
LASIK reshaped the cornea by creating a flap, while SMILE performs correction inside the cornea without cutting a flap, offering quicker recovery and less invasive treatment.

Q: How did your early interests in sports and bodybuilding influence your later medical career?
They fostered discipline, goal-setting, and a relentless work ethic that translated into the precision and dedication required in ophthalmic surgery and patient care.
Ajay Ambekar on Maharashtra Politics, VIP Protocol, Bureaucracy & Election Tamasha | Cyrus Says
