Music industry in India - statistics & facts
Music in India draws upon a rich heritage that can be traced back to the Vedic times. Meant to both inform and entertain, Indian music has evolved over the years spanning a variety of genres that includes classical, folk, pop, film, indie and raga rock. The Indian music industry is renowned for having produced some of the world’s most loved music, singers, and composers. While Indian melodies are culturally diverse, the industry itself has come to be dominated by Indian cinema, especially Bollywood, in terms of revenue and popularity.
