What Saregama India does

Owns India's oldest music catalogue (HMV heritage) and monetizes it via streaming, films, and the Carvaan retro-radio device.

Music licensing carries the business: streaming apps, caller-tune services and broadcasters pay to use its catalogue. Carvaan, a pre-loaded retro music player, brought in hardware sales, while film and series production is a smaller side. Part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group.

In one line: India's Sony Music plus a retro radio maker.
