Echoes of Earth

What Echoes of Earth does

Echoes of Earth is an annual music and lifestyle festival operated under Swordfish Events & Entertainment and headquartered in Bengaluru, India. Founded in 2016, the festival has scaled from a single Bangalore debut to multi-city operations, now running across Bangalore (four stages) and Goa (three stages), and positioning itself as "India's greenest circular music festival." The core product is a themed annual music festival featuring 40+ international and Indian musicians performing on sustainably-crafted stages, accompanied by eco-conscious art installations made from upcycled metal scrap, discarded cloth, and e-waste created in collaboration with art students and independent artists. Underlying infrastructure includes solar-powered stages, a zero-plastic/zero-waste policy with reusable steel cups and free RO water stations, and an annual Environmental Impact Report.

The company's secondary product, "The Greener Side," is a year-round educational platform that runs workshops, nature walks, and community conservation activities. The Greener Side has reportedly engaged 15,000+ people across schools and communities in four cities, delivered 100+ hands-on workshops on biodiversity and conservation, and built a network of 75+ partner organizations spanning conservationists, educators, and grassroots groups. Partnerships include a multi-year flagship alliance with Kempegowda International Airport (BLR, since 2019, now in year six) and a 2019 collaboration with National Geographic Wild.

Revenue is generated primarily through ticket sales distributed via the third-party insider.in platform, supplemented by transaction-fee streams from on-site food vendor partnerships, brand exhibitions and flea markets, and an artist marketplace. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Target customers are individual music and culture enthusiasts seeking sustainable entertainment, artists and creators seeking performance platforms, and — via The Greener Side — schools and community groups. The company is privately held under Swordfish Events & Entertainment, has raised no institutional funding, and does not publicly disclose revenue.
