Economic impact of the recorded music industry

September 11, 2019

Industry participants have indicated that piracy, value gap (sustainable sharing of value across the music value chain), and regulatory impediments (notably statutory licensing) are some of the key challenges that the recorded music industry faces. Addressing the above challenges, initiating governmentfunded music-centric grants and export schemes, and seeding a performing centre ecosystem into the next blueprint of India’s smart city initiatives are some of the measures that can put the music industry on a faster growth trajectory. This, in turn, could unlock the associated amplification effects in the broader economy.

whitePaper | June 7, 2022

Software is rapidly becoming the foundation for most of the ways we work, live and play — a trend known as “softwarization.” Software isn’t new, of course. But what’s changed is the degree to which it determines a product’s user experience, revenue opportunities, longevity, competitiveness, market differentiation and more. Softwarization enables products to become “smart,” connected and even autonomous — capabilities that they didn’t have when software was a limited part of their DNA.
