Saregama India Ltd formerly known as The Gramophone Company of India Ltd., is an Indian music record label and content company headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal. It is the oldest music label in India, established in 1901 as the Indian branch of the British Gramophone Company. It later became a part of EMI (Electric and Musical Industries), and for several decades, used the His Master's Voice (HMV) trademark on its releases. The first song recorded in India by Gauhar Jaan in 1902 and the first Hindi language film made in Bombay (Mumbai) with sound Alam Ara in 1931 were under the music label. In 1985, the company was acquired by the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group. The HMV trademark continued to be used until 2003, when the licensing agreement with EMI ended. Saregama had distributed EMI's international releases in India. The company is involved in music publishing, film production under the brand Yoodlee Films, and the creation of multi-language television content. It also manufactures and sells Carvaan, a digital audio player pre-loaded with classic Indian music. Saregama is listed on the NSE and the BSE. Besides its head office in Kolkata, it has regional offices in Mumbai, Chennai, and Delhi.
