Nadeem-Shravan is a music director duo in Bollywood. The duo derives its name from the first names of its two principals, Nadeem Saifi and Shravan Rathod.

Their first Hindi film was Maine Jeena Seekh Liya in 1981. And then they gave music to a series of B-grade films until Ilaaka, Hisaab Khoon Ka and Lashkar.

In 1997, the duo ran into negative publicity when Nadeem, while on vacation in London, England, was named as the man behind the murder of his former mentor, record executive Gulshan Kumar . Nadeem Saifi was later acquitted and cleared of charges and involvement in the Gulshan Kumar murder case by a court in Bombay due to inadequate evidence.
Nadeem-Shravan made a come back of sorts with films like Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa, Ek Rishta, Kasoor, Hum Hogaye Aapke, Raaz, Dil Hai Tumhaara, Qayamat, Hungama, Andaaz, Bewafaa, Tumsa Nahi Dekha, Barsaat, Dosti and Do Knot Disturb.
Nadeem remained in the UK and, despite the immense geographical distance between England and India, he and Shravan continued to make music together. But the duo split in the year 2005 after Dosti. Nadeem started his own perfumes and bag company, and is still also involved in solo compositions. Shravan chose instead to focus on his son's music career and movie production business, which was perhaps one of the reasons why the duo split.
