The Opportunity
New hip-hop artists across India (especially tier-2 cities and North-East) struggle to find affordable, high-quality beats and samples that blend global hip-hop with local folk styles like Kuthu, Gaana, Pahaadi drill, and Konkani flow. While free apps like BandLab exist, there's no curated marketplace selling beats made by regional producers who understand local dialects and music — forcing artists to either use generic beats or spend months learning production themselves.
Market Size₹180 Cr addressable market annually — 50,000+ aspiring rappers across India × ₹3,600 per year spent on beats, samples, and production tools
Why NowGST registration (5% on digital services); RBI approval for payment gateway (Razorpay); copyright indemnity clauses in producer contracts (ensure beats are original or licensed); no FSSAI, no shop act needed; music licensing not required as producers retain ownership and grant limited licenses to users.
