Why Metadata Matters More Than Ever for Indian Music?

Metadata is not just data — it’s the lifeline of an artist’s career. If your song is missing the right codes, your royalties, credits, and recognition vanish into thin air. My mission with MRM is simple: to make sure no Indian creator is ever invisible because of missing metadata.” — Sherley Singh

In today’s digital-first music industry, metadata is the invisible engine powering royalties, credits, and global recognition. Every ISRC, ISWC, IPI, and publisher tag ensures that a creator’s work is correctly identified, tracked, and paid for across streaming platforms, performance societies, and sync opportunities.

Yet in India, billions of rupees in royalties go unclaimed each year simply because of incomplete or incorrect metadata. Songs travel, but credits don’t. That’s where MRM steps in.

At MRM, we work with composers, lyricists, producers, and labels to:

• Standardise metadata across DSPs (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, JioSaavn).

• Register works globally with PROs (IPRS, PRS, ASCAP, BMI, SACEM, etc.)

• Ensure fair payment collection across publishing, performance, and mechanical royalties.

• Protect creators’ names, credits, and rights forever in the digital chain.

As India’s only 100% homegrown music publishing administration company, our commitment is clear: your art deserves its rightful credit and your career deserves its rightful royalty.
