MODULE 1: THE WORLD TURNS TO INDIA

15:00 - 15:45

Exploiting the potential











Building new business models for the Western industry in India & monetizing international sales through digital, physical, publishing royalties etc. India's billion plus population tends to be the eternal magnet for international labels. While there is tremendous opportunity a strong local musical culture has meant that international music remains niche. Can new business models be developed to tap into India's huge population?

The Piracy Puzzle








With the spread of digital, music continues to be consumed like never before. However, music creators and labels are being compensated for only a small part of this consumption. The challenge that the music industry faces is how to monetize music piracy so that revenues can flow towards the legitimate sector and in the process to the artistes who create the music.

The Role of Media








With the explosion in both radio and TV channels, the music industry has to understand how to work effectively with these outlets. While airplay is essential for promotion of both music and musicians, how much is too much? What kind of business models can be developed to ensure that both the media and music industry mutually benefit from the music that they create and promote?

Going Live






Is the live industry in India coming into its own? Is there enough sponsorship and endorsement money going around to allow an artiste to survive on simply performances and gigs? What is needed to complete the circle of live?

Regional Music and
Other Genres








The south of India has a vibrant music industry. A plethora of labels churn out devotional, classical and film music in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. What are the high points of the southern Indian music business? What are the trends? What are its problems? Is there potential for regional music to crossover to a national audience ..this has happened before via songs from 'Roja 'and ' Muqabla Muqabla' etc.

Mobile/Digital business
in India










It's been a landmark year for the Indian music industry with digital sales overtaking physical in 2009. And this is only going to go up further in the next couple of years. What do music labels, mobile companies, and online music services need to do to build a win-win ecosystem? Does the industry see potential with the arrival of 3G services and the imminent launch of Broadband wireless access services? Will the arrival of wireless broadband and 3G services call for a further shift in the way the industry functions?
