Laid the foundation for a platform dedicated to empowering independent music artists across India.
Introduced IMP-X, our live events arm, with a successful debut gig — giving artists a stage and fans an experience.
The IMP mobile app went live, offering artists tools to showcase, collaborate, and find opportunities.
🎶 200 Artists Empowered
Over 200 artists were given real-world opportunities through events, features, and collaborations.
Curated and executed the city’s first large-scale indie music festival, amplifying voices from across the country.
The IMP ecosystem expanded with over 1000 artists registered and 400+ given career-defining opportunities.
70+ Gigs Curated via IMP-X
IMP-X became a key live-stage driver with over 70 gigs organized across cities, venues, and formats.
When I started IMP, it wasn’t from a boardroom idea. It was from late nights with artists who were trying to find gigs with broken links, random Instagram DMs, and zero professional identity.
I saw incredible talent being overlooked, not because they lacked skill, but because they lacked structure, visibility, and opportunity. That’s where IMP was born.
For us, IMP is not just an app or a website builder. It is an ecosystem one that empowers artists to look professional, to act like a brand, to operate like a business, and most importantly, to earn through their art.
Over the past few years, we’ve gone from running shows in cafés and clubs to music festivals and international tours, directly giving payouts to hundreds of artists. We’ve journeyed with them, understood their struggles, and built IMP to solve those exact pain points.
My vision is simple: to make IMP the backbone of the independent music economy. A place where artists can create, grow, and thrive and where fans, curators, and brands can discover the next wave of music talent.
Built for Artists. Backed by Fans.
