As India\u2019s independent music ecosystem enters a defining phase of growth, we believe great artists need more than distribution they need belief, time and long-term creative partnership. Raah Records is built around careers, not campaigns, bringing together world-class A&amp;R, artist development, marketing and distribution to help original artists build lasting careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tNakul Sharma, senior general manager \u2013 music management at Yash Raj Films, will lead Raah Records.

Aman is exactly the kind of artist we built Raah for, and \u2018Jaadugari\u2019 felt like a fitting way to begin his journey and the label\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tYRF said more artists will be signed and more music released as Raah Records grows its roster in the months ahead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFounded in 1970 by the late Yash Chopra, Yash Raj Films is headquartered in Mumbai and operates across production, post-production, distribution, music, digital content, marketing, talent management, licensing, merchandising and brand partnerships.
