About the Event
AI Music Production is about composing original tracks with generative AI — blend sounds, styles and voices into something new. Own the whole pipeline, like an independent label of one: producer, artist and release strategy.
The music industry has always rewarded people who could operate like a business, not just an artist — knowing your sound, your audience and how to package a track so it lands. AI production compresses that entire pipeline into hours instead of months, which means the constraint isn’t studio time or budget anymore, it’s taste and speed of iteration. That’s a genuinely different skill, and it’s the one this track tests.
Treat it like launching a single, not just making a track: you’re deciding what to build, when it’s good enough to ship, and how to make thirty seconds grab a judge’s attention the way it would grab a listener’s. Total prize pool: ₹1,00,000 for the best productions.
