“Guys, this was the hardest decision. I have reached a stage where balancing the businesses I am running and building + music is becoming almost impossible and it is taking a toll on me in ways I cannot express,” Ananya tweeted.

“Thank you for all the love for the music I’ve released over the years. I hope that one day we can appreciate the English music of our own people, as there is so much talent in our own country. Thank you again,” she added.

Birla acknowledged the support and love she has received for her music and expressed hope for the recognition of English-language music produced by Indian artists, highlighting the abundance of talent in the country.

Professional milestones

Besides her musical pursuits, Birla is known as the founder of Svatantra Microfin, a microfinance company, and Ikai Asai, a design house. Her professional achievements extend to her recent appointment as a Director on the Board of Directors of Grasim Industries, a prominent entity within the Aditya Birla Group.

After starting her music career with her debut single in 2016, Birla has made significant strides in both music and business fields. However, she now chooses to prioritize the latter and says goodbye to her music career for the time being.
