Welcome to the ARCHIVE OF INDIAN MUSIC (AIM) – the repository of gramophone recordings of India.

The Archive has been set up in collaboration with the Manipal University’s MCPH (Manipal Centre for Philosophy and Humanities) which has generously helped the Archive in setting up and running its registered Office in Bangalore.

AIM seeks to digitize and preserve for posterity the valuable slices of India’s cultural history and musical heritage. The Archive is a custodian of these treasures and makes these available for all through its different dissemination arms.

Come, join us in this fascinating exploration of an era that has gone by, listen to some of the best voices and the most divine instruments of this country cutting across various genres- Hindustani classical, Carnatic classical, Theatre, Early cinema, Folk and the rest!

Help us to bequeath this inheritance to our future generations!
