01The vision

Our vision

Independent artists don’t need permission. They need a stage, a full room and a team that shows up for them. IndieXLive is that team — we build the night, carry the logistics and put the artist on the mark.
  • Artist first

    Every night is designed around the artist’s work, not the other way round.

  • Real rooms

    Intimate venues and full houses, with audiences who came to listen.

  • Built to grow

    From a first open mic to a headline show — one path, one team.

02How it started

It began withone open mic.

On 15 January 2021 we ran the first A’Live Session in Saharanpur. Five years and 200+ sessions later, the community needed a bigger stage — so we built one. IndieXLive is the next chapter: an event and artist management company focused on artist-special nights.

    One open mic in Saharanpur

    A’Live Sessions begins: a small room, one mic and a handful of people who wanted somewhere to share their art.
