Along with providing a unique platform for young Indie bands, Parx Hunt hopes to touch more lives with every passing year and enrich the musical journeys of everyone who ever dares to dream

While most of us are still dancing to the beats of Bollywood, there is a whole world of indie rock that’s shaking the roots of the alternative music scene in India. As an effort to fuel this revolution, Parx- a premium lifestyle brand from the house of Raymond, hosts one of the most hypercompetitive music fests that resonates with the youth of the country today. In its second edition, Parx Hunt – India’s Best College Bands TM 2018 has become the most ambitious platform for independent musicians to make their mark.
This year’s hunt began in the month of July, wherein the organisers conducted online and offline auditions and promotional activities across 120 colleges in 80 cities, including IITs, IIMs, BITS and Symbiosis, for an overwhelming response of over 230 entries. Pragati Srivastava, Brand Head, Parx, mentioned, “Parx Hunt as a concept is gaining traction with every passing year and the college youth is now increasingly seen resonating with this musical extravaganza. Now, in Season 2, Parx Hunt- India’s Best College BandsTM has doubled its reach, as we are touching base with around 5 lakh college students along the length and breadth of the country. “
