History of a turbulent success: It all started with pirated copies

India’s largest music record label and film production company was founded in 1983 by Gulshan Kumar in India. Initially, T-Series was nothing more than a way for Kumar to sell pirated Bollywood songs. Eventually, the company started producing its own music and that’s how it got its big break in 1988 with the Bollywood blockbuster Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. With 8 million albums sold, this became one of the most bought music albums of the 80s. Another success was not long in coming – the 2000 album Aashiqui, which now officially made T-Series India’s most successful music label. Since the murder of founder Gulsahn Kumar, the successful company has been run by his younger brother Krishan Kumar.
