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

The largest Indian music record label and film production company was founded in 1983 by Gulshan Kumar in India. In the beginning T-Series was nothing more than a way for Kumar to sell pirated Bollywood songs. Eventually the company started to produce their own music and so came the big breakthrough 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 album Aashiqui from 2000, which now officially made T-Series the most successful music label in India. Since the murder of founder Gulsahn Kumar, the successful company has been managed by his younger brother Krishan Kumar.
