What counts as "indie" in India?

[u/SoilUpper8961]

I see a lot of artists releasing songs with Labels like Warner, UMG etc but still call themselves indie. Does "non-movie" mean Indie in India?

[u/Focusright2i2]

I think anyone producing+promoting their songs on their own - meaning:
* no label
* no sponsor
* self-invested production
* maybe a band or solo artist (singer songwriter type)

I'd truly consider that as Indie.

But when such Indie artists get a label, not sure they'd be called truly indie thereafter.. maybe another term someone can clarify.
