India's Music Economy Faces Monetisation Challenges Amid Growing Digital Creator Base
India's music and creator economy is growing rapidly, with millions of digital creators influencing significant consumer spending. However, monetisation remains uneven, with many creators and independent musicians earning little despite viral success. The music industry faces challenges due to reliance on advertising-led platforms like YouTube, prompting calls for diversified revenue streams, subscription models, and simplified licensing. Emerging technologies like AI and partnerships with digital commerce platforms are seen as potential avenues to build a more sustainable and equitable music ecosystem.
