Underscore Records Pvt. Ltd. came into being in 2003 with a specific mission, namely, to empower artistes playing Indian music to own and share their music globally even if support for the same is not forthcoming from conventional sources. Underscore Records is an exclusive music label and website that specializes in music from India . It contains an online music store where you can source and buy various genres of Indian music presented by different artistes. Other specialty items available on the site are books and papers on music related subjects.

All copyrights for the music on the site rest in most cases with the musicians who made and recorded it, and hence revenues generated from sales also go almost entirely to the artistes.
