Product Code Database
Saregama India Ltd is an Indian music record label and content company headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal. It is the oldest music label in India, established in 1901 as the Indian branch of the British Gramophone Company. It later became a part of EMI, and for several decades, used the His Master's Voice (HMV) trademark on its releases.
In 1985, the company was acquired by the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group. Although the HMV trademark continued to be used until 2003, the licensing agreement with EMI ended that year. Saregama also distributed EMI's international releases in India during this period.
The company is involved in music publishing, film production under the brand Yoodlee Films, and the creation of multi-language television content. It also manufactures and sells Carvaan, a digital audio player pre-loaded with classic Indian music.
Saregama is listed on the NSE and the BSE. Besides its head office in Kolkata, it has regional offices in Mumbai, Chennai, and Delhi.
On 13 August 1946, the company was incorporated as a private limited entity under the name The Gramophone Co. (India) Limited. It was converted into a public limited company on 28 October 1968, following which its name was changed to The Gramophone Company of India Limited.
From 1909 to 2003, the company retailed its music products—records, Cassette tape, and —under the His Master's Voice (HMV) brand, using the iconic logo of a dog named Nipper listening to a gramophone. Even after EMI sold the company to the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group in 1985, Saregama continued to use the HMV name and symbol under a licensing agreement. This arrangement ended in 2003, when EMI divested the rights to the HMV trademark to the British retailer of the same name.
Saregama owns a music repertoire that spans film and non-film music, including Carnatic music, Hindustani classical, devotional, folk, and other genres, in over 23 Indian languages. The first song recorded in India—by Gauhar Jaan in 1902—and the soundtrack of the first Indian talkie film, Alam Ara (1931), were released under the label.
The company holds the rights to a growing number of films and over 6,000 hours of television content. It continues to expand its catalogue through new acquisitions across Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bhojpuri, Gujarati, Punjabi, and other regional languages. Its music is distributed on music streaming services including Spotify, Gaana, YouTube Music, Hungama, Apple Music, and others; on over-the-top (OTT) video platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, JioHotstar, and ZEE5; and on social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
As of 2024, Saregama's catalogue includes over 150,000 tracks. The company also holds the rights to the complete catalogue of M. S. Subbulakshmi, the first vocalist to receive the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour. Its catalogue includes devotional music across multiple faiths—such as Hinduism, Sikhism, , and Christianity—as well as a diverse collection of regional folk music.
In 2023, the company launched Saregama Talent, a vertical focused on Talent manager and promotion. That same year, it acquired a majority stake in Pocket Aces Pictures Pvt. Ltd., a digital content and influencer marketing company behind brands like FilterCopy and Dice Media. Saregama also announced a plan to invest ₹1,000 crore over three years to acquire music content across multiple Indian languages.
Variants of Carvaan have been introduced in multiple regional languages, including Punjabi, Tamil, Bengali, and Marathi. The company has also released specialised versions such as Carvaan GO—a personal audio player pre-loaded with 3,000 Hindi songs—and Carvaan Mini Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, which includes audio recitations of the 700 verses of the Bhagavad Gita along with devotional bhajans. In 2020, Saregama launched Carvaan Karaoke, which allows users to sing along with synchronised lyrics on screen.
Its film Hamid won two National Film Awards at the 66th National Film Awards, including Best Feature Film in Urdu and Best Child Artist for Talha Arshad Reshi. At the 67th National Film Awards, actor Naga Vishal received the award for Best Child Artist for his performance in K.D.. The studio’s early releases like Ajji and Noblemen were also recognised at international film festivals.
