In the cacophony of the 2020s, where an AI can clone Arijit Singh’s cry in under ten seconds and Spotify playlists are optimized for “background noise,” there exists a peculiar, almost anachronistic company tucked away in Kolkata’s Rishra neighborhood. Inside its vaults are not gold bars, but the faint hiss of 78 RPM records, the crackle of a bygone era, and the legal rights to 72% of all Hindi film music produced before the year 2000.
But the smarter move is leaning into (synchronization licensing). You can't hear a period film set in the 1970s without a Saregama track bleeding through the radio. You can't watch a Netflix documentary about the India-Pakistan war without "Aye Watan" playing in the background. saregama
