That's the aspiration of Indian girl group W.i.S.H. - an acronym of World inka Stage Hai, or "the world is their stage".

The foursome - Ri, Zo, Sim, and Suchi - are said to be India's first mainstream girl group in more than 20 years.

India has a strong history of female singers, with soloists such as Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle and Shreya Ghoshal.

There's also successful duo the Nooran Sisters, but girl bands haven't broken through in the same way.
