The app houses a collection of Indian classical music across genres including Hindustani, Carnatic and fusion music. HCL Music will feature recordings of live performances from legendary artists, high quality studio recordings featuring maestros, forgotten collections of legends and an assortment of crowd sourced music by young and aspiring artists. The app is available on both the Apple appstore and the Google play store.

“HCL has been supporting classical Indian performing arts for over 20 years now by organising specially curated concerts across some of the major cities in the country. Our goal is to cater to all classical music lovers and also inculcate an appreciation for the genre in a younger audience. One of the important aspects of accomplishing this goal is to provide access to good music anywhere and anytime, at the touch of a button. HCL Music is a step in this direction and will offer everybody a chance to experience the magic of Indian classical music at their convenience,” shared Sundar Mahalingam, Chief Strategy Officer, HCL Corporation on the launch of the app.
