We are excited to scale up our teams in India and work with labels and artists to bring more Indian music to the world,” Kaushish stated.
With the new funding, Create Music Group plans to significantly expand its presence in India, a market with a rich musical heritage and a burgeoning independent music scene. The company aims to support local talent by providing them with the tools and expertise needed to reach a global audience. This strategic move aligns with Create's mission to democratize the music industry and empower artists worldwide.
Create Music Group's commitment to innovation and artist empowerment has positioned it as a key player in the music industry. The company's ability to secure such a significant investment reflects the confidence of investors in its business model and growth potential. As Create continues to expand its services and global reach, it is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of independent music.
