Chingari And Bengal Pictures Collaborate For Bengal Market Growth

Chingari has yet again collaborated to enter another growing regional musical market. India’s #1 short-video sharing platform has partnered with Bengal Pictures, Bengal’s one of biggest independent music label cum distributor. Chingari looks at tapping the upward Bengali music market for its demanding user base. Consecutively, Bengal Pictures has understood how viral mediums can help in spreading Bengali culture. This association will aid them to draw on Chingari’s popularity in achieving their goals. 

“Bengali is the world’s 5th most spoken language with over 300 million speakers. But when it comes to culture or entertainment, we have a limited presence. Due to this, the artists or workers of all these cultural fields cannot earn their required income. The Bengali culture is lagging in its rapid progress compared to other popular cultures,” reveals Satyaki Karmakar, Founder & Owner, Bengal Pictures. “We are constantly working on how to overcome this issue and make Bengali culture more widely accepted by reaching out to more and more people. Since we are now focusing more on music, we want to create a market for Bengali music where artists don’t need to take any help to ensure their required income from their music. The acceptance of Bengali music globally will be such that any artist can work independently and ensure his/her earnings.”

He understands it will take time to achieve their goals. “But we will keep trying. We will not give up. And I think Chingari can help us a little bit to move forward with this big goal for Bengali culture.” 

Bengal Pictures got established in 2018. Its tagline is – The Presenter of Bengal. They have begun work as a ‘Record Label Cum Music Distributor’ since June 2021. They have become a trusted & fastest-growing independent record label cum music distributor for Bengali music. Their popularity is not just limited to West Bengal or Bengalis within India, but also those abroad & in Bangladesh. Around 100 artists & bands have connected with them for the last six months. 

One of the largest distribution networks for Bengali music, Bengal Pictures has been distributing & monetising ‘Music Content’ along with the International Music Streaming Platforms with CRBT service within Indian & Bangladesh. They have also recently begun their music distribution service for Radio & FM Broadcasting and public performance licensing in India.
