TIL Desk Mumbai:👉The sound of India is changing, and so is the Global Indian Music Academy Awards (GiMA). Wizcraft Entertainment Agency has announced the return of the prestigious Global Indian Music Academy Awards (GiMA) in 2027, in a completely new avatar. The announcement was made during the 10th edition of All About Music, held in Mumbai, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for one of India’s pioneering music award platforms.
GiMA has built a strong legacy of recognising and celebrating excellence across the Indian music industry. With its return in 2027, the awards are set to embrace the rapidly changing music landscape and create a platform that reflects the tastes, aspirations and creative energy of a new generation of music lovers.
The announcement at All About Music was significant as the conference brings together leading voices and stakeholders from across India’s music ecosystem. The 10th edition provided an opportunity for artists, musicians, composers, lyricists, producers, music labels, publishers, streaming platforms, technology companies, independent artists, live entertainment professionals and other industry experts to come together and discuss the future of music.
The new avatar of GiMA is expected to celebrate the diversity and evolution of Indian music, moving beyond traditional formats and recognising the many new forms through which music is being created, distributed and consumed today. The 2027 edition is expected to provide greater space to emerging artists, independent musicians, singers, composers, lyricists, producers and performers, alongside established names from the Indian music industry.
The renewed GiMA platform will also reflect the growing influence of digital platforms, social media, independent music, live performances and new technologies. As music consumption continues to change rapidly, the awards aim to recognise creativity across different genres, languages and formats while bringing established and emerging talent onto a common platform.
The 2027 edition is therefore expected to be more than just an awards ceremony. It is envisioned as a larger celebration of India's musical diversity and contemporary music culture, bringing together artists, creators, industry professionals and audiences.
Wizcraft Entertainment’s announcement at All About Music signals a fresh beginning for GiMA. The new edition will aim to honour the country’s established musical icons while creating opportunities and recognition for the next generation of creators.
With a renewed identity and a future-focused vision, GiMA 2027 is poised to become a significant platform for celebrating the changing sound of India and shaping conversations around the future of Indian music.
