Frequently asked questions
What is the artist community on iVUniverse?+
iVUniverse is a dedicated creative community platform — not a general social network or marketplace. It connects Indian musicians, photographers, dancers, filmmakers, writers, and other creators through craft Circles, live events, a global radio catalog, and a physical community space in Pune (The Hub). Over 1,000 IVians have joined since 2020.
How is iVUniverse different from Instagram for artists?+
Instagram is an algorithm-first photo feed where your reach depends on engagement metrics. iVUniverse has no feed. Instead, artists join craft Circles (invite-only guilds), submit work to Showcase for community voting, perform at The Hub Pune, and build a permanent verified identity — not a follower count. Your presence here is yours, not the algorithm's.
Is iVUniverse available for artists across India — not just Pune?+
Yes. While The Hub Pune is the flagship physical venue, all digital features — Circles, iVRadio, Showcase, Letters, artist profiles — are available to artists across India and globally. Events can be listed in any city via Shindigs & Gigs.
How do Indian artists get a verified badge on iVUniverse?+
Apply for artist verification from your account settings with links to your existing work (website, social profiles, recorded performances, published work). Verified artists get a badge on their profile, priority in Showcase, and access to artist-only Circles. Verification is available for musicians, photographers, filmmakers, performers, and other creative professionals.
Is iVUniverse free for Indian artists?+
Yes. The Free iVian (iVGU) tier is forever free and includes your artist profile, iVRadio access, events browsing, and basic Circles access. Paid tiers — Exclusive (₹49/month), Premium (₹4,999/year), Platinum (₹19,999 lifetime) — add event discounts, priority Hub access, and expanded features.
