About VerseTrade
India's first ownership marketplace for original song lyrics - where writers sell their words with verified ownership and legal protection, and buyers license them with total confidence.
Our mission
Lyrics are the soul of a song, yet the people who write them have long worked without a fair, transparent way to sell their work or prove they own it. VerseTrade exists to change that - to give lyricists a premium marketplace where their words carry verified ownership, legal weight and real value.
What we do
We connect India's songwriters with the singers, producers, labels and studios who need original lyrics. Every transaction is protected and finalised with a legal deed of transfer, so both sides know exactly what they're buying and selling.
- For writers - list original lyrics, set your terms, and get paid securely once rights transfer.
- For buyers - license verified, deed-protected lyrics across 14 languages with clear, tiered usage rights.
Built on trust
Funds are held safely until a deal is complete, ownership is verified before listing, and every sale is recorded with a signed deed. That means no disputes over who owns what, and no risk of paying for words that aren't protected.
Where we're going
VerseTrade started with a simple belief: that the words behind India's music deserve the same respect, protection and market as the music itself. We're building the infrastructure to make that real - one verse at a time.
