RadioVeRVe is the one place online that we aim to aggregate all Indian Indie music irrespective of genre, language or region. We will also package it attractively and help people discover music from India that they never knew existed. We are currently integrating this with events and articles about the Indian Indie scene to provide a complete package to the artistes and the audience! RadioVeRVe aims to use this music in projects that can generate revenue for the artists and apart from providing a platform and much needed publicity, provide a means for the artists to support themselves through their music.

RadioVeRVe started the trend of Indian Indie music being streamed online in India. We currently are among the very few legal online radio stations from India. Also, we have with us, the largest database of music from the Indie music segment which is only growing by the day.
RadioVeRVe is driven purely by passion and everything we do, right from new features on the site to new content, interviews, songs, shows are all because we love doing it! There is no money making scheme that forces us to do one over the other. We aim to take the wonderful music that is being made in India, which mainstream media doesn't care too much for, and give it a platform and make the world sit up and take notice and they have!
And all this, is just the beginning for things to come on RadioVeRVe! There is a lot more in store and it shall be unveiled very soon.
