Damroo, an artist-first music streaming, distribution, and growth platform, has raised a strategic investment of Rs 5 crore from Hindustan Times. The proceeds will be used to strengthen its technology infrastructure, scale artist networks, enhance regional music discovery, expand its content catalogue, and create new monetization and fan engagement opportunities for creators across the country, Damroo said in a press release.

Damroo currently offers digital music distribution, publishing administration, YouTube growth management, marketing support, artist collaborations, A&R guidance, royalty collection support, and financial assistance for content production. The platform also helps artists become members of publishing societies such as Indian Performing Right Society (IPRS), enabling them to access long-term publishing royalties and sustainable revenue opportunities.
