History

Early years and entry into music

Tips Industries began operations in 1975, founded by brothers Kumar S. Taurani and Ramesh S. Taurani, who initially traded LP records for major labels. This venture capitalized on the burgeoning shift from vinyl records to more affordable and portable cassettes in India's music market during the 1970s, a transition that democratized access to music for the masses. By the late , the company had solidified its position as a prominent distributor for major record labels including , Music India, and , releasing numerous titles annually to meet growing demand. It simultaneously expanded its distribution infrastructure, cultivating a network across various regions of to facilitate widespread availability of music products. This phase marked the company's foundational growth in the physical music distribution sector, leveraging the popularity of cassette technology. A pivotal early milestone occurred in the early 1980s with the launch of its proprietary music label, Tips, which concentrated on Hindi film soundtracks—a genre that was a primary source of the company's initial revenue. This strategic entry into original content production allowed Tips Industries to transition from mere distribution to active participation in music creation and promotion, setting the stage for its enduring influence in Bollywood audio.

Expansion into film and music production

In the early 1990s, Tips Industries marked its expansion into music production by acquiring rights to high-profile Bollywood soundtracks, beginning with the 1991 film Phool Aur Kaante, which featured chart-topping songs composed by Nadeem-Shravan and signaled a strategic shift from music trading to integrated in the sector. This move allowed the company to capitalize on the booming cassette market, where film music dominated sales, and positioned Tips as a key player in licensing and distribution. Building on this foundation, the company's music division grew rapidly through the establishment of in-house recording studios in during the mid-1990s, enabling the production of numerous albums by 2000 that blended film soundtracks with non-film genres such as pop, devotional, and regional music. These efforts included seminal releases like the music for Khalnayak (1993) and Rangeela (1995), which not only boosted physical sales but also diversified revenue by venturing into Punjabi, Gujarati, and Bhojpuri markets. Parallel to its music growth, Tips ventured into film co-production in the mid-1990s to secure music rights more economically while learning the filmmaking process, starting with hits like Coolie No. 1 (1995) and (1996), both of which generated substantial box-office success and sold millions of soundtrack units. By the 2000s, the company transitioned to full-scale film production and distribution, releasing over 20 Bollywood titles by 2010, including blockbusters such as Race (2008), which earned approximately ₹100 worldwide, and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (2009), grossing around ₹84 , contributing to a cumulative box-office haul exceeding ₹500 for its slate. This phase solidified Tips' role as a vertically integrated entity, synergizing film ventures with its core music operations before the eventual corporate restructuring.

Demerger and focus on music

In March 2022, the (NCLT) approved the of Tips Industries' division into a separate entity, Tips Films Limited, allowing shareholders of Tips Industries to receive one fully paid-up equity share of Tips Films for every three equity shares held in the parent company. This restructuring, effective from March 23, 2022, separated the company's production and distribution operations from its core business, enabling each entity to pursue independent growth strategies. Post-demerger, Tips Industries—rebranded as Tips Music Limited—retained ownership of its extensive , including a catalog of over 34,000 songs across multiple languages and genres, along with associated digital assets such as publishing and streaming licenses. In September 2024, the company officially changed its name to Tips Music Limited to align more closely with its primary focus on . This focus on assets positioned the company as a pure-play , leading to a substantial stock price appreciation of more than 400% from the announcement levels, with shares surging beyond ₹1,000 by the end of 2023 from around ₹250 in early 2022. The unlocked value by eliminating operational overlaps between film and music divisions, allowing Tips Music to streamline its structure and capitalize on the growing digital ecosystem. The strategic pivot post-demerger emphasized monetization through digital platforms, particularly and audio streaming services like , which accounted for over 90% of the company's advertising . This shift drove robust financial performance, with increasing 29% year-over-year in FY2025 to ₹311 , reflecting higher royalties from catalog exploitation and new releases amid rising streaming consumption in . By 2025, the company's emphasis on evergreen catalog content from the and 2000s, combined with targeted promotions, solidified its role as a key player in India's music industry, with views exceeding billions annually for its portfolio.

Business operations

Music production and catalog

Tips Industries maintains a vast music catalog comprising over 34,000 songs as of mid-2025, positioning it among India's largest libraries. This collection spans over 13 languages and includes a mix of film and non-film tracks, with a strong emphasis on Bollywood hits alongside regional and . Approximately 80% of the catalog features originating from the 1970s onward, while the remaining 20% encompasses regional language songs and non-film content, acquired and produced over decades. The company's music production process is centered in , where an in-house (A&R) team identifies and scouts emerging talent for recordings in local studios. New tracks are developed with a focus on contemporary Bollywood and regional markets, while older catalog entries undergo remastering to enhance audio quality for digital streaming and platforms like . This remastering effort ensures timeless appeal, enabling sustained monetization through updated releases. Key strengths of the catalog lie in its ownership of superhits from major Bollywood franchises, such as the Race series, and contributions from prominent artists including , whose tracks like those in devotional and film albums bolster the library's enduring popularity. These assets drive significant licensing revenue, primarily from digital platforms, sync deals, and performance rights. Historical acquisitions have further enriched this portfolio, including the August 2025 purchase of Gujarati label Studio Radha, integrating diverse regional and film soundtracks without diluting its core focus.

Distribution and digital streaming

Tips Industries maintains partnerships with physical media outlets for the distribution of CDs and DVDs, though this segment has significantly diminished following the industry's digital shift after 2010, now representing a minor portion of overall revenue. The company has pivoted strongly to digital distribution, leveraging its official YouTube channel, which surpassed 134 million subscribers by October 2025, to deliver music content to a vast audience. This platform serves as a primary avenue for audio and video streams, contributing substantially to engagement and monetization through ads and views exceeding 170 billion annually.

To achieve global reach, the company exports its catalog to diaspora communities via international platforms such as and , with international licensing contributing to revenue growth in FY2025. This expansion enhances accessibility for non-Indian audiences and supports licensing deals in overseas markets.

The remaining revenue streams include and synchronization deals for films and television, physical sales and distribution, and live events or performance rights, reflecting the 's shift toward digital dominance in the Indian .

In Q2 FY2026 (ended September 2025), revenue rose 11% year-over-year to ₹89.2 , with profit after tax up 10% to ₹53.2 . To address challenges like digital piracy, Tips Industries has implemented enhanced anti-piracy measures, including stricter enforcement and collaboration with platforms like on policy updates to track and remove unauthorized content. Complementing this, the company maintains a shareholder-friendly , declaring multiple interim s in FY2025—such as ₹2 per share in October 2024 and ₹3 per share in January 2025—resulting in a high payout ratio that reflects confidence in its cash flow generation from core music operations.
