Spotify inks licensing deal with Saregama for India market

Music streaming service Spotify on Monday said it has signed a licensing partnership with Saregama for the India market.

The partnership will enable Spotify users in India to access Saregama’s entire catalogue that spans across film, Carnatic, Hindustani classical and devotional music in over 25 languages, a statement said.

“With the full Saregama catalogue available on Spotify India, our users will not only find their favourite retro music across local languages, but also be able to discover more old-school songs through Spotify’s locally curated playlists – both editorial and algorithmic,” Spotify Director of Global Licensing Paul Smith said.
