There aren’t enough women in the Indian music industry, and it’s time to shine the light on women making a mark in this sector – from artists, lyricists, producers, and podcasters.
In this age of audio streaming, the spirit of women shaping India’s audio ecosystem needs to be celebrated and highlighted.
To amplify this, Spotify launched a year-long initiative, AmplifiHer, with a one-of-a-kind platform focused on women artists.
Over the past five months, Spotify has featured 25 fresh podcasts as part of AmplifiHer, both on the microsite and on the platform itself. Twenty women in audio have also been profiled across music and podcasts.
These conversations aim to drive inspiration from real-life stories of women in front of the mic and behind the scene in audio.
In this context, HerStory profiles contemporary music composer Alokananda Dasgupta and famous playback singer Nikhita Gandhi on their successful careers and how Spotify enables musicians like them to gain global recognition.
