T-Series was founded by the late Gulshan Kumar in 1983. Gulshan Kumar was a major figure in Bollywood, and his music label gained immense popularity with the soundtrack of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. The success continued with the record-breaking OST of Aashiqui. Since then, T-Series has become a powerhouse in the Indian music industry and film production.?Recent hits like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar have solidified their position, and upcoming projects include Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Metro In Dino.

Following an unsuccessful acting career in the 1990s and Gulshan Kumar's passing in 1997, Krishan took over the management of T-Series until Gulshan¡¯s son, Bhushan Kumar, became old enough to take charge.
