Indian IT startups face intense competition from both domestic and overseas rivals. Domestically, startups compete with established Indian IT giants like Infosys and Wipro for large projects, but can find opportunities in niche areas ignored by the big players. Overseas, startups face competition from large international firms expanding into India as well as emerging players in countries like China, Romania, and Brazil. However, Indian startups have advantages in skills, a large talent pool, and an ability to provide high quality services at a lower cost. To succeed, startups must focus on these strengths while developing world-class solutions, services, and marketing to expand globally.

5. History of Indian Classical Music
Hindustani classical music ([hin̪d̪us̪t̪ɑːn̪i]) is the Hindustani or North Indian style of Indian
classical music. The style is sometimes called North Indian classical music or Shāstriya Sangīt or
Klāsikī Mausīqī. It is a tradition that originated in Vedic ritual chants and has been evolving
since the 12th century CE, in North India and to some extent in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri
Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan. Today, it is one of the two subgenres of Indian classical music, the
other being Carnatic music, the classical tradition of South India.
7. Hindustani Vocal Classical Music
The rhythmic organization is based on
rhythmic patterns called tala. The
melodic foundations are called ragas.
One possible classification of ragas is
into "melodic modes" or "parent
scales", known as thaats, under which
most ragas can be classified based on
the notes they use.
Thaats may consist of up to seven scale
degrees, or swara. Hindustani
musicians name these pitches using a
system called Sargam, the equivalent of
the Western movable do solfege:
Sa (Shadja) = Do
Re (Rishabh) = Re
Ga (Gandhar) = Mi
Ma (Madhyam) = Fa
Pa (Pancham) = Sol
Dha (Dhaivat) = La
Ni (Nishad) = Ti
Sa (Shadja) = Do
