Hip Hop's Evolution in India - Why You Should Care

Wednesday, March 18
12:30PM - 1:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Room 10A

In the 70's and 80's HipHop served as a platform for the minority to express themselves about social & political injustice and other issues. Eventually this genre helped create unity amongst races that turned into a $80B total available market. Over the last few years, we've almost seen the HipHop culture slowing down (or maybe evolving) in North America. But all the while, HipHop has been growing like wildfire all over India. HipHop is a platform of expression and there are over 200M youth with increasing purchasing power ready to express themselves about social & political issues... which will in turn expand the current $80B market.
