There's a question that I've been asking for a very long time. I'm sure you've asked it as well
But what does a Tian's t-series even stand for the TNT series means?
Trishal now trishal is a symbol of the lord shiva the founder of t-series Gulshan Kumar
Was very devoted to lord shiva and Gulshan Kumar was one of the most religious businessmen in Bollywood
And yeah, as I just mentioned t-series was founded by Cole Sheng Kumar and this was back in the year 1983
His real name is Gulshan Kumar dua and he was born on may 5th
1951 in New Delhi India before launching t-series Gulshan had worked with his father
Chandra bang kumar dua and they sold fruit juice and with goshen growing up in a very religious household
He of course became a very devoted follower of the Shiva tradition of Hinduism
So we know what the TNT series stands for but the company's name isn't actually t-series
It's actually called super cassettes industries Private Limited and they just use the name t-series as their business name
It's a lot easier to say like hey subscribe to t-series rather than a you subscribe to super cassettes industries privately
You know people are gonna click away before you even finish saying the name
Even this family acquired a shop and started selling records and cheap audio cassettes
They received great profits and looking at this Ghosh and Kumar started producing cassettes themselves. Today t-series is not just known for
Distributing Bollywood content but also for producing their own original content
But did you know that it wasn't always like that how to series got its start was that they started selling?
Pirated Bollywood content that's how they made their money to start and luckily
They never got shut down because we would not have t-series as the way we have it today
But it wasn't long before t-series got into producing their own original content because they released her first original soundtrack in the year
1984 in the year 1990 t-series gained massive amount of popularity when he releases soundtrack for the very
successful romantic movie
Isshiki and for those of you don't know as Shiki means romance in English
The film received a lot of love from the audience and the music in this Bollywood film was even more
Successful because the soundtrack sold 20 million copies and currently it's still the second highest selling Bollywood album ever
Unfortunately on August 12
1997 the founder of t-series Gulshan Kumar
Was shot and he later passed away outside of the temple in Andheri Mumbai
India and the people responsible for his passing was the D company after Gulshan Kumar was no longer with us
t-series had to be managed by his younger brother Krishan Kumar as well as Gulshan Kumar son Bhushan Kumar when Bhushan Kumar
Took over TC reads a little over two decades ago
He was just 19 years
old and even though his older uncle
Krishan Kumar was heavily involved in t-series as a company
A lot of people in the company really had to deal with like Wow here we have this kid. That's like
promoted to the top of his company and there are people of course that were a lot older than him so
You know, they took them some time to really get used to that this guy was so young and he's leading us. However
Very quickly Bhushan Kumar asserted his position in the company and yeah
Just look what T series became today t-series is the largest producer and publisher of music and videos in India
It has published original soundtracks of movies old devotional pageants remixes from 1960s to 1990s
The kind of growth that t-series also experiences has a lot to do with the Indian users
It's not the only factor in t-series growth, but it is a factor that plays a big role
India is one of the world's fastest growing economies and people aren't coming online in
large amounts in summer of 2018 the Internet users in India reached
500 million and that's still only a third of the country's population
Not to mention the millions of Indians that immigrated to different countries around the world that still tune into t-series
And with that said you see that t-series YouTube channel has over
58 billion views as well as 79 million subscribers
Which makes them the second most subscribed YouTube channel in the world next to PewDiePie because of our quantum strength
We are very big on YouTube
And billions of via billions of views and means at one point of time. We were
number one channel in the world in terms of views and
Influence of subscription we were number two
So which is a very very big achievement and this all happens just because of great content
Although t-series is the second most subscribed YouTube channel in the world
It is not the only channel that belongs to t-series the company's considered a multi-channel network
which means that they're able to manage different channels and
Approximately right now they have about 29 channels under them and they all have millions of views
So that adds to the total amount and subscribers at t-series has on a whole although yes
Of course, you do have to look at individual channel performances
But t-series has a much bigger reach online than their main channel indicates due to their other channels
Personally I do not know a lot about the founder of t-series Gulshan Kumar and many of you may not either some of you aren't
Even really familiar with the early days of t-series as a company
However back in 2017
They did announce that they're making a movie about the life of ghosts and Kumar and the history of t-series
T-series is producing a biopic called mogul and is being released in Christmas of 2019
It's produced by Bhushan Kumar the son of gol Shan Kumar and a movie
Yep, is gonna follow the life of gol Shan Kumar. So of course, it's a highly anticipated movie
I'm excited to see it and Gulshan Kumar. He accomplished a lot in his short life
